Where the article explains it
where is the capacitance of the depletion region the gate does not fully control and is the gate’s own oxide capacitance.
The passage around this formula
where is the capacitance of the depletion region the gate does not fully control and is the gate’s own oxide capacitance. As falls toward zero, S falls toward its physical floor of about 60 millivolts per decade at room temperature. Wrapping the gate fully around the channel is, in this equation, a direct attack on : there is no…
