Treat the top gate as a parallel-plate capacitor, neglecting fringing and assuming its voltage change couples to the 2DEG without a dominant trap or series-capacitance correction. Its capacitance per area and induced electron density areIn this top-gate density tuning, a positive gate change increases the electron density in this model, giving . Since ,The fields rise by a factor , not by the density ratio itself. Finite quantum capacitance is a small correction here: the one-subband value is much larger than the stated geometric capacitance per area.
