The package type should be available as a through hole mounting TO as the prototype is to be built on strip-board. This requires some calculations based on information gathered from the manufacturer's data sheet. Working examples of this design process and how it can be applied to practical switching circuits are described in Module 4.

Now, if a voltage is applied between the drain and source, the current flows freely between the source and drain and the gate voltage controls the electrons in the channel.
Instead of the positive voltage, if we apply a negative voltage, a hole channel will be formed under the oxide layer. It is a four-terminal device having the terminals as gate, drain, source, and body.
The flow of current is in the direction of positively charged holes. When we apply the negative voltage with repulsive force at the gate terminal, then the electrons present under the oxide layer are pushed downwards into the substrate.
The depletion region populated by the bound positive charges which are associated with the donor atoms. It is a four-terminal device having the terminals as gate, drain, source, body. When we apply the positive voltage with repulsive force at the gate terminal then the holes present under the oxide layer are pushed downward into the substrate. The depletion region is populated by the bound negative charges which are associated with the acceptor atoms.
Upon the reach of electrons, the channel is formed. Now, if a voltage is applied between the drain and source the current flows freely between the source and drain and the gate voltage controls the electrons in the channel.
Instead of positive voltage if we apply negative voltage then a hole channel will be formed under the oxide layer. To the most general scenario, the operation of this device happens mainly in three regions and those are as follows:. As the world is not just stuck to ideal applications, the functioning of MOSFET is even applicable for practical purposes. In the practical scenario, the device should hold the below properties.
If the resistive load of the lamp was to be replaced by an inductive load and connected to the relay or diode which is protected to the load. In the above circuit, it is a very simple circuit for switching a resistive load such as a lamp or LED. Here, the name itself indicated that the device can be operated as a transistor. It will have P-channel and N-channel. In the transistor, the current flow in the gate is in a positive direction and the source terminal is connected to ground.
Whereas in bipolar junction transistor devices, the current flow is across the base-to-emitter path. But in this device, there is no current flow because there is a capacitor at the beginning of the gate, it just requires only voltage. The resistance between drain and source is termed as RDS. Due to this RDS, the voltage drop appears when there is current flow in the circuit. The above load is considered as a resistive load, hence the circuit is very simple, and in case we need to use an inductive or capacitive load, we need to use some kind of protection to prevent the MOSFET from getting damaged.
But for the sake of knowledge let's try to get into the difference. If you look at the structure, you could see that the gate terminal is fixed on the thin metal layer which is insulated by a layer of Silicon Dioxide SiO2 from the semiconductor, and you will be able to see two N-type semiconductors fixed in the channel region where the drain and source terminals are placed.
It can be inverted from p-type to n-type, simply by applying positive or negative gate voltage respectively. When a drain-source voltage V DS is connected between the drain and source, a positive voltage is applied to the Drain, and the negative voltage is applied to the Source.
Here the PN junction at the drain is reverse biased and the PN junction at the Source is forward biased. At this stage, there will not be any current flow between the drain and the source. The number of free electrons accumulated at the gate contact depends on the strength of positive voltage applied. The higher the applied voltage greater the width of the n-channel formed due to electron accumulation, this eventually increases the conductivity and the drain current I D will start to flow between the Source and Drain.
When there is no voltage applied to the gate terminal, there will not be any current flow apart from a small amount of current due to minority charge carriers. When we increase the applied voltage to the gate in positive the channel width will be increased in depletion mode. This will increase the drain current I D through the channel.
