extrapolated threshold voltage (VT(ext))

The threshold voltage extrapolated from measurement of the maximum slope gm(max) of the ID-VGS curve, as described in ASTM F617‑86. VT(ext) can be calculated using

VT(ext) = VGS(gm(max)) - ID(gm(max)) /gm(max)

where

VGS(gm(max)) is the gate voltage at the point of the maximum slope of the ID-VGS curve;
ID(gm(max)) is the drain current at the point of the maximum slope of the ID-VGS curve;
gm(max) is the maximum slope of the ID-VGS curve in the linear region.
