11. Due to the Schottky depletion, we believe that the potential shape of the channel is smoothened and that the conducting area can be assumed to be circular. The rise of the measured peak voltage as compared to the expected value further indicates that the channel is depleted at small collector biases and hence a parabolic lateral potential may be used.
