← ScienceWhich mechanism leads to transistor saturation at high gate voltages?
A)Channel inversion layer formation failure
B)Drift velocity saturation✓
C)Gate oxide dielectric breakdown
D)Source/drain junction depletion capacitance
💡 Explanation
Drift velocity saturation causes transistor saturation because increasing the gate voltage further doesn't increase the drain current; therefore, current plateaus, rather than continues to increase, because the charge carriers cannot move any faster.
