 MOSFET

• The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is a

type of field-effect transistor used for amplifying or switching
electronic signals.
• The ability to change conductivity with the amount of applied
voltage can be used for amplifying or switching electronic signals.
• MOSFETs are now even more common than BJTs (bipolar junction
transistors) in digital and anglog circuits.
It’s circuit & symbol
 Working principal

• The working principal of MOSFET depends up on the MOS capacitor.

• The MOS capacitor is the main part.
• The semiconductor surface at below the oxide layer and between the drain and source terminal can
be inverted from p-type to n-type by applying a positive or negative gate voltages respectively.
• When we apply positive gate voltage the holes present beneath the oxide layer experience repulsive
force and the holes are pushed downward with the substrate.
• The depletion region is populated by the bound negative charge, which are associated with the
acceptor atoms.

• The positive voltage also attracts electrons from the n+ source and drain regions in to the channel.
• The electron reach channel is formed . Now , if a voltage is applied between the source and the
drain, current flows freely between the source and drain gate voltage controls the electrons
concentration the channel.
• Instead of positive if apply negative voltage a hole channel will be formed beneath the oxide layer.
 MOSFET Application and uses

• MOSFETs are used in digital integrated circuits , such as microprocessors.

• Used in calculators.
• Used in memories and in logic CMOS gates.
• Used in analod switches.
• MOSFET devices are also applied in audio-frequency power amplifiers for public address
systems.
• Used as amplifiers.
• Used in the applications of power electronics and switch mode power supplies.
• MOSFETs are used as oscillators in radio system.
BJT (bipolar junction transistors)
What is BJT ?

• The biopolar junction transistor is a semiconductor device constructed

with three doped regions

• These regions essentially from two ‘back-to-back’ p-n junctions in the

same block of semiconductor material ( silicon )

• The most common use of the BJT is in linear amplifier circuits (linear
means that the output is proportional to input ) . It can also be used as
a switch (in, for example , logic circuits ).
Comparison of MOSFET & BJT
MOSFAT vs BJT
Parameter MOSFET BJT
Gain Very high current gain which Lower current gain and it is
is nearly constant for varying not constant. It decreases
drain currents. when the collector current
increases.

Input Resistance Very high.
For AC signals, much lower
due to the capacitance of
the device.
Input Current Picoamps (approximately
zero)
Switching speed V DS = 20 mV
Ever lower heat dissipation
when saturated.
Frequency Response Faster than Bipolar
Gain increases as
temperature increases.
Low
Microamps or Milliamps
V CE = 200 mV
Lower heat dissipation when
saturatd.
Slower then MOSFETs.
