4.2.1 Electrical Characteristics

Figure 4.2 shows the electrical characteristics of the two-drain MAGFET. Simulation results are compared with experimental data at room temperature. The bias are zero volts at source and substrate, and the drains are set to $ 1.0$ V. A very good agreement between experimental and simulated data is obtained. The simulation grid used for this and the following results is shown in Figure 4.3. A cut is made at 90 $ \mu $m from the source side along the width of the device. The current density is equally shared by both drains as it can be seen in Figure 4.4, where the $ x$ axis goes from the silicon oxide-silicon interface towards the substrate and the $ y$ axis is the width of the two-drain MAGFET.
