Field-Effect-Transistors (FET) Lecture-17 GaAs MESFET HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor) Ideal MOSFETs - Basic Operation - Ideal MOS Capacitor - Threshold Voltage - C - V Characteristics (1) Threshold Voltage (VT ) : Minimum gate voltage required to induce the conducting channel (2) Enhancement mode transistor : “normally off” with zero gate bias, operates by applying gate voltage large enough to induce a conducting channel. (3) Depletion mode transistor : “normally on” with zero gate bias, a negative gate voltage is required to turn th
