Transistor& Type
A transistor is a semiconductor device used 
to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is 
composed of semiconductor material with at least three 
terminals for connection to an external circuit.

MOSFET Symbol Circuit
MOSFET
 A MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)
is a semiconductor device.
 A MOSFET is most commonly used in the field of power electronics.
 A semiconductor is made of manufactured material that acts neither
like a insulator nor a conductor.

Working principle of MOSFET
 The working principle of MOSFET depends up on the
MOS capacitor.
 The MOS capacitor is the main part.
 The semiconductor surface at below the oxide layer and
between the drain and source terminal can be inverted
from p-type to n-type by applying a positive or negative
gate voltages respectively.
 When we apply positive gate voltage the holes present
beneath the oxide layer experience repulsive force and
the holes are pushed downward with the substrate
Working principle of MOSFET
Working principle of MOSFET
The depletion region is populated by the bound negative
charges, which are associated with the acceptor atoms.
The positive voltage also attracts electrons from the n+
source and drain regions in to the channel.
The electron reach channel is formed. Now, if a voltage is
applied between the source and the drain, current flows freely
between the source and drain gate voltage controls the
electrons concentration the channel.
Instead of positive if apply negative voltage a hole channel will
be formed beneath the oxide layer.

 If the MOSFET is an n-channel or nMOS FET, then the
source and drain are 'n+' regions and the body is a 'p' region.
 If the MOSFET is a p-channel or pMOS FET, then the source
and drain are 'p+' regions and the body is a 'n' region. 
MOSFET Applications:

MOSFETs are used in digital integrated circuits, such as
microprocessors.
 Used in calculators.
 Used in memories and in logic CMOS gates.
 Used as analog switches.
 MOSFET devices are also applied in audio-frequency
power amplifiers for public address systems
MOSFET Applications
• Used as amplifiers.
• Used in the applications of power electronics and switch
mode power supplies.
• MOSFETs are used as oscillators in radio systems.
• Used in automobile sound systems and in sound
reinforcement systems
Single-type MOSFET switch
This analog switch uses a four-terminal simple, generally
enhancement mode, MOSFET of either P or N type.
In the case of an N-type switch, the body or back gate terminal
is connected to the most negative supply (usually GND in single
power supply systems) and the gate is used as the switch
control.
Whenever the gate voltage exceeds the source voltage by at
least a threshold voltage, the MOSFET conducts.
Single-type MOSFET switch
 The higher the gate voltage with respect to the source,
the lower the resistance of the switch will be. An NMOS
switch passes all voltages less than (Vgate
-Vtn
).
 When the switch is conducting, it typically operates in
the linear (or triode) region of operation, since the
source and drain voltages will typically be nearly equal.
Application
 NMOS and PMOS turn on characteristics
 The explosion of digital technologies has
pushed the advancement of MOSFET
technologies faster than any other Si transistor.
This has happened due to the MOSFET being
the prime building block of CMOS digital logic
circuits.
 CMOS circuits are advantageous because they
allow virtually no current to pass through and
thus consume very little power.
Advancements of the MOSFET
Limitations of the MOSFET
Overheating is very much a concern when
considering today's integrated circuits contain
millions of transistors in a relatively small space.
 Recently, the small size of MOSFETs has
created operational problems as producing such
tiny transistors is an enormous challenge,

Editor's Notes

  • #15 MOS transistors can be either enhancement (no channel at VGS = 0) or depletion (finite channel at VGS = 0) types. Notice the thick line on the symbol that represents the channel. All MOSFET transistors actually have 4 pins (including the base [substrate] pin). Since the substrates are connected to the supply lines in digital circuits, they are typically not drawn.
