MOS Tr ansistor
A tr ansistor is a thr ee-contact, thr ee-par t, two-junction device that per for ms as a switch or an amplifier .
Enhancement mode:
- A polysilicon gate is deposited on a layer of insulation over the region between source and drain. - If this gate is connected to a suitable positive voltage with respect to source, then the electric field is established between gate and substrate gives rise to a charge inversion region in the substrate under the gate insulation and a conducting channel is formed between source and drain
Depletion mode:
- By implanting suitable impurities in the region between the source and drain, the channel is present under the condition Vgs=0. - In this mode, source and drain are connected by a conducting channel, but the channel now is closed by applying a suitable negative voltage to the gate. In both modes, var iations of the gate voltage allow contr ol of any cur r ent flow between sour ce and dr ain.
b)
c)
In order to establish the channel in the first place, a minimum voltage level, called thr eshold voltage Vt , must be established between gate and source.
Under the condition Vgs=0, the channel is established because of the impurities implant in the region between the source and drain. In this mode, source and drain are connected by a conducting channel, but the channel now is closed by applying a suitable negative voltage to the gate.

The whole concept of MOS tr ansistor evolves fr om the use of a voltage on the gate to induce a char ge in the channel between sour ce and dr ain, which may then be caused to move fr om sour ce to dr ain under the electr ical field cr eated by voltage Vds applied between dr ain and sour ce.
Assume that the device is not saturated (Vds< Vgs-Vt) then the average voltage value on the substrate is Vds/2. Effective gate voltage:
