Explain the three parts of a MOSFET and their functions.
Explain the three parts of a MOSFET and their functions.
The source is where the electricity comes from, the gate is a switch that controls the flow of electricity, and the drain is where the electricity goes.
What is the role of the oxide material in the gate of a MOSFET?
What is the role of the oxide material in the gate of a MOSFET?
The oxide material in the gate acts as an insulator, meaning it does not conduct electricity. When a voltage is applied to the gate, it creates an electric field that controls the flow of electricity between the source and drain.
Describe the operation of a MOSFET in the triode region.
Describe the operation of a MOSFET in the triode region.
In the triode region, the MOSFET acts like a variable resistor, and the amount of current that flows depends on the voltage on the gate.
