Field Effect Transistor (FET) : by K. Sreevidya Asst .Professor Dept of ECE

The document provides an overview of Field Effect Transistors (FET), highlighting the differences between Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) and FET, including their terminal configurations and control mechanisms. It details the construction and operating characteristics of N-channel JFET, including how the depletion region affects current flow and resistance. Additionally, it discusses JFET drain and transfer characteristics through graphical representations of current versus voltage relationships.

Difference between BJT & FET
BJT FET
 Three terminal semiconductor  Three terminal semiconductor
device. device
 Emitter, base, collector  Source, gate,drain
 Current controlled device  Voltage controlled device
 Bipolar device  Unipolar device
 Two types- npn & pnp  Two types – JFET & MOS FET
Classification of FET

Construction of N-channel JFET
Major part of the structure is n- type
meterial.
Top of the n-type channel Is connected
through an ohmic contact to a terminal
Reffered to as drain(D).
As lower end Connected through an
ohmic contact to a terminal Reffered as
source (S).
P-type meterials connected together and
taken as terminal gate(G).
JFET has two pn junctions under no bias
condition.
JFET operating characteristics:VGS=0V
Three things happen when Vgs=0v and Vds
Is increased from 0v to more positive
Voltage
A depletion region between p-gate and N-
channel increases as electrons from N-
channel Combine with holes From p-gate.
Increasing the depletion region decreasing
the size of N-channel Which increases the
resistance of the N-channel.
Even through the N-channel resistance
increasing the current (ID) from source to
drain through the N-channel is
increasing.This is because Vds is increasing.
JFET operating characteristics: pinch off
If Vgs =0v and Vds is further
increased to a more positive
Voltage , that the depletion region
gets increases and pinchoff the N-
channel.
This suggests that the current in N-
channel (ID) would be dropped to
SaturatIon.
JFET drain characteristics
Plot between Vds Vs Id for
different values of vgs.
When Vgs=0v & Vds is
positive ,Id increases linearly.
When Vds is more positive Voltage
id gets saturated as Idss.
When Vgs=-ve ,& Vds positive
Voltage Id current reduces from
the previous value of Id.
JFET TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS
Plot between vgs and id for
fixed value of vds
When vgs = 0v id is idss and
as vgs more negative ,the
drain current Id reduces.
