Why Does Shrinking MOS Device Dimensions Increase Electric Field?

Click For Summary
As MOS device dimensions shrink, the electric field increases due to reduced channel length, which intensifies the influence of short-channel effects. This phenomenon is linked to charge sharing, where carriers can interact more significantly across shorter distances, impacting device performance. The book "Solid State Electronic Devices" by Ben G. Streetman provides a comprehensive explanation of these effects. Understanding these concepts is crucial for grasping the implications of scaling in MOSFET technology. The relationship between electric field strength and device dimensions is essential for advancing semiconductor design.

Why does electric field in MOS device tend to increase as device dimension
shrink

describe the cross-section of a MOSFET with short channel showing the charge
sharing phenomenon

can anyone help me to find out these two problems?
I could not find them out from the book

thanks a lot!

ben g streetman

has a proper treatment of the short channel effects and what happens when the channels are reduced.

basically, both issues are interlinked and is a bit long winded for here...
