    2 cards from this lesson. Good the night before a test.

Try these first

  1. 1.

    What are the components of a MOSFET?

    Hint

    Think about the name itself.

  2. 2.

    Define the threshold voltage.

    Hint

    What does V_th mean?

  3. 3.

    What does MOS in MOSFET stand for?

    • Metal Oxide Semiconductor
    • Metal Over Silicon Field Effect
    • Moisture Over Silicon Field Effect
    Hint

    Think about the order of the materials.

  4. 4.

    True or False: V_th determines the conductive state of a MOSFET.

    • True
    • False
    Hint

    Consider what it controls in the MOSFET.

  5. 5.

    Given a MOSFET with a threshold voltage of 3V and a constant k = 0.5 mA/V^2, calculate I_DS when V_GS = 5V and V_DS = 2V assuming it operates in saturation.

    Hint

    Use the saturation current equation.

  6. 6.

    Explain how the I-V curve would change if V_th were increased to 4V.

    Hint

    Consider the implications for the cutoff region.
