It is a single terminal voltage-controlled device, used in many applications like usage in power switching devices and amplifiers, to invert and convert a digital signal to an analog signal, etc. It is one of the most versatile electronic components and is highly popular due to its various features.

Working Principle

On the basis of a FET, MOSFET is an insulated gate FET with an electrically insulated gate electrode attached to the channel. It is a three terminal solid-state semiconductor device, made up of silicon or germanium (substrate); semiconductor controlled rectifier; oxide layer; gate electrode and drain or source. Director current flows between drain and source.

In MOSFET, the supply voltage applied on the gate decides the drain current flowing through a parasitic resistance existing between drain and source. The input control voltage applied on the gate changes the impedance of the MOSFET, this is how it produces the output. The input control voltage is usually applied logarithmically with respect to its drain source current. In this way it is used in amplifiers and controlled rectifier for applying positive feedback.
