An approximate but simple expression explicitly relating the surface potential to the surface electric field of a symmetrical double-gate metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect device is used to derive a compact expression for the linearly extrapolated threshold voltage VTe of such a device with a uniformly doped channel region. The expression is shown to be valid for both partially and fully depleted devices. VTe is predicted to exhibit a global minimum as the thickness of the channel is systematically increased.
