MOSFET Basics
MOSFET is a very popular kind of IG-FET. The full form of MOSFET is the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. The diagram of MOSFET is given below.
In these kinds of devices, the gate terminal is separated from the channel using the insulating layer. This insulating layer is formed from the oxide layer of the semiconductor. The insulating layer of MOSFET is formed from SiO2.
What is MOSFET?
In the world of electronics, you all must have heard the term Transistor in your life at least once. But have you ever thought about what are transistors? How do they work? What are the types of transistors? So today you will get the answer to all such questions. In this article, we will understand about the device MOSFET and its characteristics. But before that let me clear the term transistor.
So a transistor is a type of semiconductor device that is used to maintain and regulate the voltage and current level. It has the functions of a switch and an amplifier. You might be thinking about what is the need to study transistors. This is because it is one of the essential components in most of the electronic devices present today. We cannot imagine this world of technology without transistors.
