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 ...
In a depletion-mode MOSFET, the device is normally on at zero gate–source voltage. Such devices are used as load "resistors" in logic circuits (in depletion-load NMOS logic, for example). For N-type depletion-load devices, the threshold voltage might be about −3 V, so it could be turned off by pulling the gate 3 V negative (the drain, by ...
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%).

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).
Polysilicon depletion effect is the phenomenon in which unwanted variation of threshold voltage of the MOSFET devices using polysilicon as gate material is observed, leading to unpredicted behavior of the electronic circuit. [1] Because of this variation High-k Dielectric Metal Gates (HKMG) were introduced to solve the issue.
As channel length is reduced, the effects of DIBL in the subthreshold region (weak inversion) show up initially as a simple translation of the subthreshold current vs. gate bias curve with change in drain-voltage, which can be modeled as a simple change in threshold voltage with drain bias. However, at shorter lengths the slope of the current ...
In textbooks, channel length modulation in active mode usually is described using the Shichman–Hodges model, accurate only for old technology: [2] where = drain current, ′ = technology parameter sometimes called the transconductance coefficient, W, L = MOSFET width and length, = gate-to-source voltage, =threshold voltage, = drain-to-source voltage, =, and λ = channel-length modulation ...
