See more compact models using the MIT Virtual Source (MVS) Model

This is a compact physics-based ambipolar-virtual-source (AVS) model that describes carrier transport in both unipolar and  ambipolar regimes in quasi-ballistic graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs). The transport model incorporates two separate virtual sources for electrons and holes and is supplemented by a self-consistent channel-charge-partitioning model valid from drift-diffusive to ballistic transport conditions. The model comprehends the asymmetry introduced by different contact resistance for electrons and holes. The AVS model has a limited number of parameters, most of which have a physical meaning and can easily be extracted from device characterization.  The compact model yields continuous current and charges and can easily be used in the design and analysis of circuits and systems implemented with GFETs.
