1. What is a Transistor
... flow so the drain potential must be higher than that of the Source (VDS > O)- In P-channel devices, the flow of holes requires that VDS < 0. The majority carriers of the channel, ordinarily positive for P-channel FETs and negative for N-channel FETs, determine the polarity of the electric field that controls current in the channel. Variations of FET technology are based on ... carriers of the substrate across the PN junction with the channel. This narrows (depletes) or widens (enhances) the channel, respectively, as VGS changes polarity. For N-channel MOSFETs, positive gate voltages wit...
