    WHAT IS A MOSFET : WORKING
    AND ITS APPLICATIONS
    The MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field
    Effect Transistor) transistor is a semiconductor
    device that is widely used for switching purposes
    and for the amplification of electronic signals in
    electronic devices.  
    It is a field-effect transistor (FET with an insulated
    gate) where the voltage determines the conductivity
    of the device.
    It is used for switching or amplifying signals. 
    The ability to change conductivity with the amount
    of applied voltage can be used for amplifying or
    switching electronic signals.
    It is available in very small sizes. 
    WORKING AND ITS APPLICATIONS
    It is a tri-terminal, unipolar, voltage-controlled,
    high input impedance devices which form an
    integral part of vast variety of electronic circuits
    It is generally considered as a transistor and
    employed in both the analog and digital circuits. 
    MODES OF OPERATION
    Off mode ---->
    Gate Voltage <Threshold Voltage
    ON mode ---->
    Gate Voltage >Threshold Voltage
    SIGNIFICANCE
    They can be made with either p-type or n-type
    semiconductors, complementary pairs of MOS
    transistors can be used to make switching circuits
    with very low power consumption
    MOSFETs are particularly useful in amplifiers due
    to their input impedance being nearly infinite
    which allows the amplifier to capture almost all the
    incoming signal.
    The main advantage is that it requires almost no
    input current to control the load current, when
    compared with bipolar transistors.
    TYPES OF MOSFET
    MOSFETs are available in two basic forms:
    Depletion Type: The transistor requires the Gate-
    Source voltage (VGS) to switch the device “OFF”.
    The depletion-mode MOSFET is equivalent to a
    “Normally Closed” switch.
    Enhancement Type: The transistor requires a Gate-
    Source voltage(VGS) to switch the device “ON”.
    The enhancement-mode MOSFET is equivalent to a
    “Normally Open” switch.
    Each of them can be either p-channel or n-channel
    devices as they can have their conduction current
    due to holes or electrons respectively.
    TYPES OF MOSFET
    The MOSFET is a capacitor operated transistor device.
    The capacitor plays an essential role for operating a
    MOSFET.
    It is also called as Insulated Gate Field Effect
    Transistor (IGFET) or Metal Insulator Field Effect
    Transistor (MIFET).
    Construction wise it can be grouped into four types.
    P – Channel Enhancement MOSFET
    N – Channel Enhancement MOSFET
    P – Channel Depletion MOSFET
    N – Channel Depletion MOSFET
    WORKING
    The main principle of the MOSFET device is to be
    able to control the voltage and current flow
    between the source and drain terminals. It works
    almost like a switch and the functionality of the
    device is based on the MOS capacitor. The MOS
    capacitor is the main part of MOSFET.
    The semiconductor surface below the oxide layer
    which is located between the source and drain
    terminal can be inverted from p-type to n-type by
    the application of either a positive or negative gate
    voltages respectively.  When we apply a repulsive
    force for the positive gate voltage, then the holes
    present beneath the oxide layer are pushed
    downward with the substrate.
    WORKING….
    It is a four-terminal device with source(S), gate
    (G), drain (D) and body (B) terminals. The
    body is frequently connected to the source terminal,
    reducing the terminals to three. It works by varying
    the width of a channel along which charge carriers
    flow (electrons or holes).
    The charge carriers enter the channel at source and
    exit via the drain. The width of the channel is
    controlled by the voltage on an electrode is called
    gate which is located between source and drain. It
    is insulated from the channel near an extremely thin
    layer of metal oxide. A metal-insulator-
    semiconductor field-effect transistor or MISFET is a
    term almost synonymous with MOSFET. Another
    synonym is IGFET for the insulated-gate field-effect
    transistor.
    WORKING….
    The depletion region populated by the bound
    negative charges which are associated with the
    acceptor atoms.
    When electrons are reached, a channel is developed.
    The positive voltage also attracts electrons from the
    n+ source and drain regions into the channel. Now,
    if a voltage is applied between the drain and source,
    the current flows freely between the source and
    drain and the gate voltage controls the electrons in
    the channel.
    Instead of the positive voltage, if we apply a
    negative voltage, a hole channel will be formed
    under the oxide layer.
