![]() This forms a channel between the source and drain. Therefore the flow of current (I DS) is from drain to source. The electrons flow from the source terminal to drain as the drain has a positive voltage, and the direction of current is the opposite of the flow of electrons. The source and bulk are grounded, and the drain is connected to a positive voltage (V D). In depletion type, when V GS = 0, there is conducting channel between the source and drain. Hence, we can say the device is in an off mode at zero gate voltage. When the gate voltage is 0 (V GS=0), there is no conducting channel in enhancement type. Based on the channel, there are two types of MOS transistors, enhancement type, and depletion type. ![]() āLā is the length of the channel, and āWā is the width. The top view of the NMOS shows the structure is symmetric concerning drain and source. The region between the drain and source is called the channel. In the MOS structure, the p-type substrate is diffused to form an n+ source and drain terminals. In between the gate and substrate, there is an insulator made up of silicon dioxide. ![]() The metal connects to the gate and is called the polysilicon gate contact. We know that a MOS structure is made up of a metal, oxide layer, and a substrate. It includes the bulk, which is a p-type semiconductor, and the source and drain are n-type semiconductor. The below figure shows the cross-section of the NMOS transistor. There are two types of MOSFET: NMOS type transistor and PMOS type transistor. MOSFET has four terminals: drain, source, bulk, and gate. MOS refers to Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor, and MOSFET refers to Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor.
