Concept and Types of Field Effect Transistor (FET)

The FET stands for Field Effect Transistor. It is a three terminal semiconductor device in which current is controlled by an electric field.

FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR (FET)

The FET stands for Field Effect Transistor. It is a three terminal semiconductor device in which current is controlled by an electric field. The operation of FET is depends only on the majority carriers. But BJT depends on both types of charge carriers.

There are two types of FET:

(1) Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET)

(2) Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET)

The MOSFET is further subdivided into two types

(i) Depletion type MOSFET

(ii) Enhancement type MOSFET
