Abstract

A metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is the fundamental electrical component of the complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) chip. The action of the transistor is controlled by an electric field. The MOSFET is very versatile and offers many options to the circuit designer; it is used as a switch. This chapter outlines the key points in the transistor building process. The chapter also discusses how the field effect transistor works. MOSFET is the heart of the chip; it finds uses in a very broad range of chip types. It is widely recognized as the work-horse of the electronics industry. Because MOSFETs switch on and off at great speed, while using relatively little power, they can be used in digital logic circuits of all sorts. Currently, computer technology has been built on the advances in MOSFET performance. These transistors are also widely used as amplifiers and other specialized components.
