    • MOSFET – Metal Oxide
    T Field Effect Transistor
    • Designed to over come the shortcomings of FET (Field
    Effect Transistor like slow operation, high drain resistance,
    moderate input impedance).
    • Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistors commonly
    known as MOSFETs are electronic devices used to switch
    or amplify voltages in circuits. It is a voltage controlled
    device and is constructed by three terminals. The
    terminals of MOSFET are named as follows: Source, Gate
    and Drain 3
    MOSFET Construction N - Channel

    Cont
    • A thin layer of Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is grown over the
    …
    entire surface and holes are made to draw ohmic contacts
    for drain and source terminals.
    • A conducting layer of aluminum is laid over the entire
    channel, upon this SiO2 layer from source to drain which
    constitutes the gate. The SiO2 substrate is connected to
    the common or ground terminals.
    • Because of its construction, the MOSFET has a very less
    chip area than BJT, which is 5% of the occupancy when
    compared to bipolar junction transistor. This device can be
    operated in modes. 5

    MOSFET Classification

    Enhancement Mode
    • Default – No gate voltage - No channel conductivity
    • When there is no voltage across the gate terminal, then
    the device does not conduct. When there is the maximum
    voltage across the gate terminal, then the device shows
    enhanced conductivity.

    10
    Depletion Mode
    • Default: No Voltage to Gate – Maximum Conductivity
    • When there is no voltage across the gate terminal, the
    channel shows maximum conductance.
    • When the voltage across the gate terminal is either
    positive or negative, then the channel conductivity
    decreases.

    12
    Cont
    • No PN junction …instead there
    like FET, is an insulation
    layer
    • Current conduction is due to the presence of diffused
    channel
    • Sio2 & Al metal contact forms, a capacitor
    • NMOS in Depletion Mode – Biasing Requirement – Gate
    to –Ve terminal & Drain is connected to the +Ve terminal
    of gate voltage.

    13
    Cont
    • When no voltage is … between
    applied gate and source,
    some current flows due to the voltage between drain and
    source.
    • Let some negative voltage is applied at VGG.
    • Then the minority carriers i.e. holes, get attracted and
    settles near SiO2 layer. But the majority carriers, i.e.,
    electrons get repelled.

    14
    Cont
    • With some amount of …
    negative potential at VGG a certain
    amount of drain current ID flows through source to drain.
    When this negative potential is further increased, the
    electrons get depleted and the current ID decreases.
    • Hence the more negative the applied VGG, the lesser the
    value of drain current ID will be.
    • The channel nearer to drain gets more depleted than at
    source as in FET and the current flow decreases due to
    this effect. Hence it is called as depletion mode MOSFET.

    Advantages & Disadvantages
    • Advantages of MOSFET
    • MOSFETs operate at greater efficiency at lower voltages.
    • Absence of gate current results in high input impedance
    producing high switching speed.
    • Disadvantages of MOSFET
    • MOSFETs are vulnerable to damage by electrostatic
    charges due to the thin oxide layer.
    • Overload voltages make MOSFETs unstable.
