A simple closed form expression for the threshold voltage V
Tof non-uniformly doped short-channel IGFET\´s is derived by solving two-dimensional Poisson equation over the depletion region under the gate using a step doping profile approximation. An exponential dependence on channel-length L and a linear dependence on drain-to-source voltage V
