Introduction to MOSFET
•MOSFET - Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor
•Main different from BJT – there is no actual pn junction as the p and n
materials are insulated from each other. MOSFETs are static sensitive
devices and must be handled by appropriate means.
•There are depletion MOSFETs (D-MOSFET) and enhancement
MOSFETs (E-MOSFET).
•Note the difference in construction.
•The E-MOSFET has no structural channel.

E-MOSFET Operation (N-Channel)
E-MOSFET
Construction
(n-channel)
•The positive gate voltage attracts electron from the substrate to the region
along the insulating layer
•the gate is made sufficiently positive, enough electrons will be pulled up
from the substrate
•An N-channel starts to form
•The channel does not form uniformly but rather begins to form on the drain
side
