1 MOSFET The MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) transistor is a semiconductor device which is widely used for switching and amplifying electronic signals in the electronic devices.   The MOSFET is a core of integrated circuit and it can be designed and fabricated in a single chip because of these very small sizes.  

2 The MOSFET is a four terminal device with source(S), gate (G), drain (D) and body (B) terminals.
The body of the MOSFET is frequently connected to the source terminal so making it a three terminal device like field effect transistor. The MOSFET is very far the most common transistor and can be used in both analog and digital circuits.

4 The transfer characteristic relates drain current (ID) response to the input gate-source driving voltage (VGS). Since the gate terminal is electrically isolated from the remaining terminals (drain, source, and bulk), the gate current is essentially zero, so that gate current is not part of device characteristics

5 Output characteristics of MOSFET

6 Advantage and limitation of MOSFET
JFETs can only be operated in the depletion mode whereas MOSFETs can be operated in either depletion or in enhancement mode. MOSFETs have input impedance much higher than that of JFETs. This is due to negligibly small leakage current. JFETs have characteristic curves more flat than those of MOSFETs indicating a higher drain resistance due to low resistance offered by channel compared in JFET. When JFET is operated with a reverse bias on the junction, the gate current IG is larger than it would be in a comparable MOSFET. The current caused by minority carrier extraction across a reverse-biased junction is greater, per unit area, than the leakage current that is supported by the oxide layer in a MOSFET. Thus MOSFET devices are more useful in electro-meter applications than are the JFETs. MOSFETs are somewhat easier to manufacture, they are more widely used than are the JFETs. MOSFET has higher speed of operation compared to JFET’s.
