Disadvantages of E-MOSFET
There are some limitations of using Enhancement – MOSFET, some of them are listed below:
- E-MOSFET have a complex biasing in comparison to other types of transistors.
- E-MOSFET are temperature-sensitive, i.e., change in temperature will affect the working of the transistor.
- These types of transistors are generally costlier than other types of transistors, hence increase the cost of device in which it is used.
- E-MOSFET cannot perform efficiently at high frequencies.
- The properties of E-MOSFET gets altered if the type of semiconductor material is altered.
E-MOSFET
Enhancement MOSFET which is commonly called as E-MOSFET is a type of field effect transistor which is used mainly in voltage-controlled devices. It is a unipolar device, i.e. device in which conduction of current takes place either by electrons or holes. It is a three-terminal device which is mainly used as amplifier or in switching devices.
This type of transistor can be used both in analog and digital devices. These transistors are more popular than Bipolar junction transistors due to less power dissipation and negligible leakage current. These are smaller in size and hence find its application in integrated circuits (ICs).
