MOSFET Working Types and Application

In this article we will discus about the MOSFET working types and application. we will discus in detail that how  many types  of mosfet and their working application . MOSFET are basically to types that is depletion mode and enhancement mode. MOSFET full name is Metal oxide field effect transistor.

MOSFET Working Types and Application

MOSFET (Metal oxide field effect transistor) Working 

MOSFET is the very familiar element of electronic family. MOSFET is of two types, N-channel type and P-channel type MOSFET.

MOSFET working types and application

 MOSFET Types and Working

MOSFET is of two types:

1) Depletion mode MOSFET

2) Enhancement mode MOSFET

1. Depletion mode MOSFET

when gate voltage is zero, the channel works in conduction mode. When gate voltage is available either positive or negative then decrease the conductivity.

2. Enhancement mode MOSFET

when gate voltage is zero then channel is in non conductive mode. When gate voltage is increases, channel conductivity is also increase.

Here we read about construction of N-channel depletion type MOSFET:

MOSFET Symbol with different channel

A slab of p-type material is formed of a silicon base and it is known as the substrate. It is foundation upon which the device is constructed. The source and drain terminals are connected through metallic contact to n-doped region linked by N-channel. Gate is also connected with a metal contact surface but it is insulated from the N-channel by a very thin SiO2 layer. There is no electrical connection between gate terminal and the channel of MOSFET. In addition to this, it is insulating layer of SiO2 in the MOSFET construction that accounts for very high impedance.

P channel MOSFET:

The p channel MOSFET has negative ions so it works with negative voltage. When negative voltage is applied to the gate the electron present under the oxide layer through push downward into the substrate with a repulsive force . The deflection region populated by bound positive charge is available with donor atoms. The negative voltage also attracts holes from positive source and drain region into the channel region.

MOSFET Application

MOSFET generally used in circuits as switch. When gate voltage is less than the threshold voltage it is little or non conduction between drain and source; that is switch off mode. When gate voltage is more than threshold voltage, it attracts the electron to flow in channel and it comes in conduction mode and it is known as switch ON mode. MOSFET can also used as a amplifier. The big advantage of MOSFET is that it requires almost no input current to control load current as compared to BJT.

Application of MOSFET

MOSFET is use in millions of electronic circuit. It is widely used in microprocessors and memory circuit. MOSFET is the most important component in embedded system circuit which is use to control as per requirement. MOSFET is a high voltage control equipment which is use to control light intensity, motor and generator control.

MOSFET used as a switch:

For this application a N-channel enhancement mode MOSFET is use for controlling the lamp switch on and off. When gate voltage is positive then lamp is turned ON When gate voltage is zero then lamp is in turn off mode. CIRCUIT is given below:
