Scattering-limited and ballistic transport in a nano-CMOS circuit by Saad, Ismail, Tan, Micheal Loong Peng, Chi, Aaron Enn Lee, Ismail, Razali, Arora, Vijay Kumar

“…The mobility and saturation velocity in the nanoscale metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) are revealed to be ballistic; the former in a channel whose length is smaller than the scattering-limited mean free path. The drain-end carrier velocity is smaller than the ultimate saturation velocity due to the presence of a finite electric field at the drain. …”
