Upon completing this chapter, students should be able to:
  1. Develop a qualitative understanding of the operation of two types of field-effect transistors—the MOSFET and the JFET
  2. Define and explore FET characteristics in the cutoff, triode, and saturation regions of operation
  3. Develop mathematical models for the current-voltage (i -v) characteristics of MOSFETs and JFETs
  4. Introduce the graphical representations for the output and transfer characteristic descriptions of electron devices
  5. Catalog and contrast the characteristics of enhancement-mode and depletion-mode FETs including NMOS and PMOS FETs and JFETs
  6. Learn the symbols used to represent FETs in circuit schematics
  7. Investigate circuits used to bias the transistors into various regions of operation
  8. Learn the basic structure and mask layout for MOS transistors and circuits
  9. Explore the concept of MOS device scaling
  10. Contrast three- and four-terminal device behavior
  11. Understand sources of capacitance in MOSFETs and JFETs
  12. Explore FET Modeling in SPICE
