The mobility and saturation velocity in the nanoscale metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) are revealed to be ballistic; the former in a channel whose length is smaller than the scattering-limited mean free path. The drain-end carrier velocity is smaller than the ultimate satur...
