Generalised FET as an amplifier. A FET amplifier is an amplifier that uses one or more field-effect transistors (FETs). The most common type of FET amplifier is the MOSFET amplifier, which uses metal–oxide–semiconductor FETs (MOSFETs). The main advantage of a FET used for amplification is that it has very high input impedance and low output ...
The conductive channel connects from source to drain at the FET's threshold voltage. Even more electrons attract towards the gate at higher V GS, which widens the channel. The reverse is true for the p-channel "enhancement-mode" MOS transistor. When V GS = 0 the device is “OFF” and the channel is open / non-conducting. The application of a ...
Julius Edgar Lilienfeld, who proposed the concept of a field-effect transistor in 1925.. The concept of a field-effect transistor (FET) was first patented by the Austro-Hungarian born physicist Julius Edgar Lilienfeld in 1925 [1] and by Oskar Heil in 1934, but they were unable to build a working practical semiconducting device based on the concept.
If the MOSFET is an n-channel or nMOS FET, then the source and drain are n+ regions and the body is a p region. If the MOSFET is a p-channel or pMOS FET, then the source and drain are p+ regions and the body is a n region. The source is so named because it is the source of the charge carriers (electrons for n-channel, holes for p-channel) that ...
The invention of the high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) is usually attributed to physicist Takashi Mimura (三村 高志), while working at Fujitsu in Japan. [4] The basis for the HEMT was the GaAs (gallium arsenide) MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor), which Mimura had been researching as an alternative to the standard silicon (Si) MOSFET since 1977.
The concept of a field-effect transistor (FET) was first proposed by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld, who received a patent for his idea in 1930. [6] He proposed that a field-effect transistor behaves as a capacitor with a conducting channel between a source and a drain electrode. Applied voltage on the gate electrode controls the amount of charge ...
NXP 7030AL - N-channel TrenchMOS logic level FET IRF640 Power Mosfet die. The power MOSFET is the most widely used power semiconductor device in the world. [3] As of 2010, the power MOSFET accounts for 53% of the power transistor market, ahead of the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (27%), RF power amplifier (11%) and bipolar junction transistor (9%).

A cross-section of a floating-gate transistor. An FGMOS can be fabricated by electrically isolating the gate of a standard MOS transistor [clarification needed], so that there are no resistive connections to its gate.
