SUMMARY
The voltage drop across the insulator in the band diagram of a MOSFET is linear due to the oxide layer being treated as having no current and no charge. According to Gauss's Law, the electric field (E) remains constant because the charge density (ρ) is zero, leading to a constant voltage gradient (dV/dx = E). This results in a linear relationship between voltage (V) and distance across the insulator.
