When V GS > V th and V DS < V GS − V th: The transistor is turned on, and a channel has been created which allows current between the drain and the source. The MOSFET operates like a resistor, controlled by the gate voltage relative to both the source and drain voltages. The current from drain to source is modeled as:
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%). [24]
Overdrive voltage, usually abbreviated as V OV, is typically referred to in the context of MOSFET transistors.The overdrive voltage is defined as the voltage between transistor gate and source (V GS) in excess of the threshold voltage (V TH) where V TH is defined as the minimum voltage required between gate and source to turn the transistor on (allow it to conduct electricity).

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 negative gate voltage to the p-type "enhancement-mode" MOSFET enhances the channels ...
Hysteresis vs single-valued: Devices which have hysteresis; that is, in which the current–voltage relation depends not only on the present applied input but also on the past history of inputs, have I–V curves consisting of families of closed loops. Each branch of the loop is marked with a direction represented by an arrow.
The VMOS was invented by Hitachi in 1969, [11] when they introduced the first vertical power MOSFET in Japan. [12] T. J. Rodgers, while he was a student at Stanford University, filed a US patent for a VMOS in 1973. [13] Siliconix commercially introduced a VMOS in 1975. [11] The VMOS later developed into what became known as the vertical DMOS . [14]
For values of V GS near zero, the drain-to-source voltage linearization voltage or triode breakpoint is much higher than when V GS levels are near the pinch-off voltage. This means in order to maintain constant resistor behavior for different values of V GS, the maximal linearization value would be set according to the highest value of V GS used.
