Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone could help by clarifying a few points on MOSFETS please.
I appreciate that they can operate in 5 modes:
Flatband, Accumulation, Depletion, Inversion, Strong Inversion
The classic 'turned on for no applied gate voltage' "depletion mode MOSFET" I assume, is simply a MOSFET operating in depletion mode.
However, the two commonly used terms to describe MOSFETS are "delpetion mode" and "enhancement mode" and I was wondering whether the enhancement mode MOSFET was constructed differently, or if it simply referred to one of the 5 modes of operation.
I suspect there is a simple answer to this but the more I try and research it, the more confused with terminology I get - so any pointers greatly appreciated!
Thanks
