Behaviour of Charge state function

Fig 9: Plot of Qg versus Vds and Vgs. Outside the measured region indicated by the thick line, the charge surface predicted by the neural network is smooth and very well behaved, even at extremely high voltages, which would never experienced in practice, but may be used by the simulator during convergence.
