Episode Synopsis "Lecture 4: Scattering in Nanoscale MOSFETs"

No MOSFET is ever fully ballistic - there is always some carrier scattering. Scattering makes the problem complicated and requires detailed numerical simulations to treat properly. My objective in this lecture is to present a simple, physical picture that describes the essence of the problem and that allows us to interpret the results of detailed simulations.
