Abstract

A method for extracting a channel length between a source and a drain in a substrate of a transistor is disclosed herein. The method includes forward biasing the source with respect to the substrate to inject a charge into the substrate, collecting the charge at the drain, and calculating the channel length from the charge collected at the drain.
