Objectives

In this chapter the junction field-effect transistor (JFET) is introduced and its practical uses, construction, biasing and characteristics are emphasized in an elaborate manner. In addition to this construction of the metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS), the structural characteristics and biasing of MOS field-effect transistor (MOSFET) are also discussed in detail. The last portion of the chapter deals with the ...
