Field Effect Transistor (FET)
 The prime difference between BJT and
FET is that the BJT is a current controlled
device whereas the FET is a voltage
controlled device.
 The FET can be classified into two types
based on the construction. They are
namely
Junction Field Effect
Transistor (JFET)
Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field
Effect Transistor (MOSFET)
Junction Field Effect Transistor
(JFET)
 The junction gate field-effect transistor (JFET or JUGFET) is the
simplest type of field-effect transistor. They are three-
terminal semiconductor devices that can be used as electronically-
controlled switches, amplifiers, or voltage-controlled resistors.
Junction Field Effect Transistor
(JFET)
 The curve drawn between drain current Ip and drain-source
voltage VDS with gate-to source voltage VGS as the
parameter is called the drain or output characteristic.
Metal Oxide Semiconductor Junction
Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET)
 The metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-
FET, or MOS FET) is a type of field-effect transistor (FET), most
commonly fabricated by the controlled oxidation of silicon.
Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect
Transistor (MOSFET)
 The curve drawn between drain current Ip and drain-source
voltage VDS with gate-to source voltage VGS .
Comparison between JFET and
MOSFET
 Comparing to the JFET, MOSFETs are easier to fabricate.
 JFETs are operated only in the depletion mode. The depletion
type MOSFET may be operated in both depletion and
enhancement mode.
 The output characteristics of JFET is flatter than the MOSFET.
because the drain resistance in the JFET (1 MΩ) is higher than
the MOSFET (50kΩ)
 The input resistance of JFET is in the range of 108Ω. For
MOSFET, the input resistance will be in the range of 1010 to 1015Ω.
Comparison between JFET and
MOSFET
 Because of their advantages,
MOSFETs are widely used in
VLSI circuits than JFET. As
the MOSFET is susceptible
to overload voltages, special
care should be taken during
installation.
Comparison between JFET and
MOSFET
 MOSFET has zero offset voltage. The source and drain
terminals can be interchanged (so it is called as
symmetrical device). Because of these two characteristics
the MOSFET is widely used in analog signal switching.
Comparison between JFET and
MOSFET
 In JFET, the transverse
electric field across the
reverse biased PN junction
controls the conductivity of
the channel.
 In MOSFET, the transverse
electric field induced across
an insulating layer deposited
on the semiconductor
material controls the
conductivity of the channel.
