- 1.
What are the components of a MOSFET?
Hint
Think about the name itself.
- 2.
Define the threshold voltage.
Hint
What does V_th mean?
- 3.
What does MOS in MOSFET stand for?
- Metal Oxide Semiconductor
- Metal Over Silicon Field Effect

- 4.
True or False: V_th determines the conductive state of a MOSFET.
- True
- False
Hint
Consider what it controls in the MOSFET.
- 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.
Explain how the I-V curve would change if V_th were increased to 4V.
Hint
Consider the implications for the cutoff region.
