For field-effect transistors based on heterostructures with selective doping, the results of calculations for the output characteristics of devices on the basis of the hydrodynamic model are compared with those based on the quasi-hydrodynamic (temperature-related) model. It is shown that the transverse spatial transport and heavy dependences of relaxation times on energy lead to the situation where the results of calculations based on the above models differ appreciably from one another at the gate lengths that much exceed the length of electron relaxation by momentum.
