MOSFET Current Control in Electronics

Description

The MOSFET is a semiconductor device that controls electrical current in modern electronics. It is also called an IGFET or MISFET. The three main terminals are the source, drain, and gate.

MOSFETs are classified as n-channel or p-channel devices. The type depends on the doping of the substrate an...

Transcript

The Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, or MOSFET is a semiconductor device with three terminals: the Source, the Drain, and the Gate and is also known as IGFET, MISFET, and MOST.

It can be either n-channel or p-channel, depending on the doping of the substrate and the source or drain regions.

In an n-channel MOSFET,...
