An enhancement-type MOSFET or E-MOSFET can be turned on when the channel is depleted.

More Questions from Field Effect Transistors (FET)

• A MOSFET has an isolated gate.
• The gate-biased JFET characteristic curve includes IDS.
• A JFET has 3 terminals: gate, drain, and source.
• A JFET is very similar to a BJT.
• The amount of gate voltage needed to turn the JFET completely off is called VGS(OFF).
• Transconductance is also called mutual conductance.
• A common-drain configured JFET is also called a source-follower.
• If the drain, source, and channel are all a p-type material, and the transistor operates in both modes, this is a p-channel E-MOSFET.
• A D-MOSFET cannot be biased using zero biasing.
• Breakdown voltage and pinch-off voltage of a JFET are different terms for the same voltage level.
