Field Effect Transistor COEN 180 Field Effect Transistor
FET Strength of an electric field controls the conductivity of a connection. Junction FET (JFET) Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET).
JFET
JFET Conductivity Width of channel Positive gate removes negative carriers from channel. Negative gate widens channel.
Metal Oxide Semiconductor FET MOSFET
MOSFET Gate is isolated (through SiOxide) from the channel. Channel allows conductivity. Chokes off with negative gate. Widens with positive gate.
