FETs (Field-Effect Transistor) and MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) are two types of transistors that are used in electronic circuits. FETs and MOSFETs are both three-terminal devices used for signal amplification, switching, and processing. The gate terminal in a FET is separated from the source and drain terminals by a region known as the channel. MOSFETs have an insulated gate terminal separated from the channel by a thin layer of oxide. Read this article to find out more about FET and MOSFET and how they are different from each other. What is FET? The most popular type of FET is the ... Read More

There is a category of transistors called Field Effect Transistor (FET). In this category, a lot of field effect transistors are there like Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET), Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET), Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MSFET), etc. In this article, we will compare and contrast the various features of JFET and MOSFET.What is JFET?JFET stands for junction field effect transistor. The JFET is a three terminal semiconductor device and the terminals are: Source (S), Drain (D) and Gate (G). JFET has a channel between source and drain. The channel is the path between the source and ... Read More

BJTs are three-terminal semiconductor devices used for switching and amplification of signals. MOSFETs, on the other hand, are four-terminal semiconductor devices used for switching applications. Read through this article to find out more about BJTs and MOSFETs and how they differ from each other.What is BJT?BJT stands for Bipolar Junction Transistor. It is a type of transistor in which the current flow is due to two types of charge carriers viz. electrons and holes. A BJT consists of three alternating layers of P-type and N-type semiconductor materials and two P-N junctions. The BJT has three terminals viz. emitter (E), base ... Read More
