Transistor

Transistor is a semiconductor device that can


amplify or switch electrical signals
Transistor is made up of semiconductor material
usually with three terminals for connection with
external circuit
Field effect Transistor

• FET is three terminal device: Drain, Source and Gate


• FETs are unipolar devices because, they operate only with one
type of charge carrier.
Field effect Transistor

• The term field-effect relates to the formation of channel


due electric field created as a result of a voltage applied
on one of its terminals (gate)
• It is a voltage-controlled device, where the voltage
between two of the terminals (gate and source) controls
the current through the device.

• There are two types of JFET


i) N channel JFET
ii)P channel JFET
N-Channel JFET

Operation : N channel JFET
1. When Vgs = 0 & Vds=0

• When Vgs=0V and Vds=0V, Depletion


region is created at the PN junction.
The depletion region thickness is same
and are symmetrical

2. When Vgs=0V and Vds=+ve (variable)


Electrons start moving from Source to
drain and Id flows from Drain to Source
• Points closer to drain are at higher positive potential relative to ground than
point close to source. Both depletion regions are therefore subjected to greater
reverse voltage near drain. Therefore depletion region extends more towards
near the drain.
• Drain current Id varies with Vds, keeping Vgs=0V

Characteristics of N channel JFET

There are two types of characteristics


a)Drain characteristics: Plot of Vds Vs Id keeping Vgs constant as shown in figure 2.5
The various regions in the drain characteristics are:

i)Cut off region

ii)Ohmic region

iii)Pinch off/Saturation Region

iv)Breakdown Region

Square Law Expression for Id: The transfer characteristics of a JFET ca be


expressed as

Equation 2.1 is square law expression for Id


In terms of pinch off voltage equation 2.1 can be written as

In equation 2.2 Vp is value of Vds at which drain current Id becomes constant i.e
Id=Idss when Vgs=0v

In equation 2.1, Vgs(off) is the value of vgs at which drain current Id becomes zero
for given Vds
