p-channel MOSFET
A type of MOSFET where the charge carriers are holes, allowing current to flow from source to drain when a suitable voltage is applied.
Biasing
The process of applying appropriate voltages to the gate, source, and drain of a MOSFET to ensure it operates in a designated mode (cutoff, saturation, or linear region).
I-V Characteristics
The relationship between the current flowing through the MOSFET and the voltages applied to its terminals, crucial for understanding MOSFET behavior.
Threshold Voltage
The minimum gate-source voltage required to create a conductive channel between the source and drain in a MOSFET.
Pinch-off
A condition in a MOSFET where the channel's effective length decreases significantly decreasing the current flow beyond a certain voltage.
