Applications of MOSFET

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

practical reality in the 1970s. The MOSFET, compared to BJTs, can be made very

small (that is, it occupies a very small area on an IC chip). Since digital circuits can

be designed using only MOSFETs, with essentially no resistors or diodes required,

high-density VLSI circuits, including microprocessors and memories, can be fabricated.

The MOSFET has made possible the handheld calculator, the powerful

personal computer, and the laptop computer. MOSFETs can also be used in analog

circuits, as we will see in the next chapter.

In the MOSFET, the current is controlled by an electric field applied perpendicular

to both the semiconductor surface and to the direction of current. The phenomenon

used to modulate the conductance of a semiconductor, or control the current in a

semiconductor, by applying an electric field perpendicular to the surface is called the

field effect. The basic transistor principle is that the voltage between two terminals

controls the current through the third terminal.

After successful completion of the course students will be able to

Assimilate the physics, characteristics and parameters of E-MOSFET towards its application as

amplifier.

At the end of this course students will study concepts of MOSFET like

MOSFET working, MOSFET Characteristics, MOSFET types

How to use MOSFET as

MOSFET Amplifier, MOSFET Switch, MOSFET current sink/source

A student will formulate, analysis the MOSFET based problems and interpret data to make substantial conclusions.

A student will be able to design and implement the amplifier so that it can be so that it can be used in applications.

A student will verify performance parameters of different circuits of MOSFET using modern Engineering tools.

Analysis and Designing MOSFET Amplifier for different configurations can be used for hybrid engineering applications.

Also able to design and simulate this applications on different simulation softwares.
