brief…
The field-effect transistor (FET) is a three-terminal device used for a variety of
applications that match, to a large extent, those of the BJT transistor.
Although there are important differences between the two types of devices, there
are also many similarities.
The primary difference between the two types of transistors is the fact that:
The BJT transistor is a current-controlled device as depicted in Fig. 1a, whereas
the JFET transistor is a voltage-controlled device as shown in Fig. 1b.
In other words, the current IC in Fig. 1a is a direct function of the level of IB. For the
FET the current ID will be a function of the voltage VGS applied to the input circuit as
shown in Fig. 1b. In each case the current of the output circuit is controlled by a parameter
of the input circuit—in one case a current level and in the other an applied voltage.

brief…conti..
Just as there are npn and pnp bipolar transistors, there are n-channel and
p-channel fieldeffect transistors.
For the FET an electric field is established by the charges present, which
controls the conduction path of the output circuit without the need for direct
contact between the controlling and controlled quantities.
❖ One of the most important characteristics of the FET is its high input impedance.
❖ Typical ac voltage gains for BJT amplifiers are a great deal more than for FETs. but
❖ FETs are more temperature stable than BJTs, and FETs are usually smaller than
BJTs, making them particularly useful in integrated-circuit (IC) chips.

The validity of Eq. (3) as a source of the transfer curve is best demonstrated by
examining a few specific levels of one variable and finding the resulting level of the
other as follows:
18
Conversely, by using basic algebra we can obtain [from Eq. (3)] an equation for the
resulting level of VGS for a given level of ID. The derivation is quite straightforward and
results in

Construction and Operation of MOSFETs
22
In Fig. 22 the gate-to-source
voltage is set to 0 V by the direct
connection from one terminal to
the other, and a voltage VDD is
applied across the drain-to-source
terminals. The result is an
attraction of the free electrons of
the n-channel for the positive
voltage at the drain. The result is a
current similar to that flowing in
the channel of the JFET. In fact,
the resulting current with VGS= 0V
continues to be labelled IDSS, as
shown in Fig. 23.
In Fig. 24, VGS is set at a negative voltage such as -1 V. The negative potential at the gate will
tend to pressure electrons toward the p-type substrate (like charges repel) and attract holes
from the p-type substrate (opposite charges attract) as shown in Fig. 24. Depending on the
magnitude of the negative bias established by VGS, a level of recombination between
electrons and holes will occur that will reduce the number of free electrons in the n-channel
available for conduction.

Basics
Although there are some similarities in construction and mode of operation between
depletion type and enhancement-type MOSFETs, the characteristics of the
enhancement-type MOSFET are quite different from anything obtained thus far. The
transfer curve is not defined by Shockley’s equation, and the drain current is now cut off
until the gate-to source voltage reaches a specific magnitude. In particular, current control
in an n-channel device is now effected by a positive gate-to-source voltage rather than the
range of negative voltages encountered for n-channel JFETs and n-channel depletion-type
MOSFETs.
The basic construction of the n-channel
enhancement-type MOSFET is provided in Fig.26.
A slab of p-type material is formed from a silicon
base and is again referred to as the substrate. As
with the depletion-type MOSFET, the substrate is
sometimes internally connected to the source
terminal, whereas in other cases a fourth lead
(labelled SS) is made available for external control
of its potential level. The source and drain
terminals are again connected through metallic
contacts to n-doped regions, but note in Fig.26 the
absence of a channel between the two n-doped
27 regions.
Figure 26: n-Channel enhancement-type MOSFET. By T.VenkataSridhar , ETC
If VGS is set at 0 V and a voltage applied between the drain and the source of
the device of Fig. 32, the absence of an n-channel (with its generous number of
free carriers) will result in a current of effectively 0 A quite different from the
depletion-type MOSFET and JFET, where ID = IDSS. It is not sufficient to have a
large accumulation of
carriers (electrons) at the
drain and the source (due to
the n-doped regions) if a
path fails to exist between
the two. With VDS some
positive voltage, VGS at 0 V,
and terminal SS directly
connected to the source,
there are in fact two
reverse-biased p–n
junctions between the
n-doped regions and the
p-substrate to oppose any
significant flow between

drain and source.
28
Since the channel is nonexistent with VGS = 0 V and “enhanced” by the
application of a positive gate-to-source voltage, this type of MOSFET is called an
enhancement-type MOSFET.
The level of VGS that results in the significant increase in drain current is called
the threshold voltage and is given the symbol VT or VTh. On specification sheets it
is referred to as VGS(Th).
As VGS is increased beyond the threshold level, the density of free carriers in the
induced channel will increase, resulting in an increased level of drain current.

Biasing
(DC Analysis)
36
By T.VenkataSridhar , ETC
For the field-effect transistor, the relationship between input and output quantities
is nonlinear due to the squared term in Shockley’s equation. Linear relationships
result in straight lines when plotted on a graph of one variable versus the other,
whereas nonlinear functions result in curves as obtained for the transfer
characteristics of a JFET.

Fixed-Bias Configuration
The simplest of biasing
arrangements for the
n-channel JFET appears in
Fig. 1. Referred to as the
fixed-bias configuration, it is
one of the few FET
configurations that can be
solved just as directly using
either a mathematical or a
graphical approach.

Vo and the coupling
capacitors (C1 and C2).

Voltage Divider-Bias Configuration
The basic construction in Figure 12 is exactly the same like earlier, but the dc analysis
of each is quite different. IG = 0 A for FET amplifiers, but the magnitude of IB for
common-emitter BJT amplifiers can affect the dc levels of current and voltage in both the
input and output circuits. Recall that IB provides the link between input and output circuits
for the BJT voltage-divider configuration, whereas VGS does the same for the FET
configuration.
The network of Fig. 12 is
redrawn as shown in Fig. 13 for
the dc analysis. Note that all the
capacitors, including the bypass
capacitor CS, have been replaced
by an “open-circuit” equivalent in

INTRODUCTION
Field-effect transistor amplifiers provide an excellent voltage gain with the added
feature of a high input impedance.
They are also low-power-consumption configurations with good frequency range
and minimal size and weight.
JFETs, depletion MOSFETs, and MESFETs can be used to design amplifiers
having similar voltage gains. The depletion MOSFET (MESFET) circuit, however,
has a much higher input impedance than a similar JFET configuration.
Whereas a BJT device controls a large output (collector) current by means of a
relatively small input (base) current, the FET device controls an output (drain)
current by means of a small input (gate-voltage) voltage.
In general, therefore, the BJT is a current-controlled device and the FET is a
voltage-controlled device.
In both cases, however, note that the output current is the controlled variable.
Because of the high input characteristic of FETs, the ac equivalent model is
somewhat simpler than that employed for BJTs. Whereas the BJT has an
amplification factor, β (beta), the FET has a ‘transconductance’ factor, gm.
63 By T.VenkataSridhar , ETC
The FET can be used as a linear amplifier or as a digital device in logic
circuits.

The control of Id by Vgs is included as a current source gmVgs connected from drain to
source as shown in Fig. 4. The current source has its arrow pointing from drain to source
to establish a 180° phase shift between output and input voltages as will occur in actual
operation. The model for the JFET transistor in the ac domain can be constructed as
below Fig. 4.
The input impedance is represented by the open circuit at the input terminals and the
output impedance by the resistor rd from drain to source. Note that the gate-to-source
voltage is now represented by Vgs (lowercase subscripts) to distinguish it from dc
levels. In addition, note that the source is common to both input and output circuits,
whereas the gate and drain terminals are only in “touch” through the controlled current
source gmVgs.

The popular voltage-divider configuration for BJTs can also be applied to JFETs as
demonstrated in Fig. 16.
90 By T.VenkataSridhar , ETC
The last JFET configuration to be analyzed in detail is the common-gate configuration of
Fig. 19, which parallels the common-base configuration employed with BJT transistors.
Substituting the JFET equivalent circuit results in Fig. 20.
Note the continuing requirement that the controlled source gmVgs be connected from drain
to source with rd in parallel. The isolation between input and output circuits has obviously
been lost since the ‘gate terminal is now connected to the common ground’ of the network
and the controlled current source is connected directly from drain to source.
In addition, the resistor connected between input terminals is no longer R G, but the resistor
RS connected from source to ground.
Note also the location of the controlling voltage Vgs and the fact that it appears directly
across the resistor RS.
