Lecture8 MOS Transistor

The document discusses field effect transistors including MOSFETs. It describes the construction and operation of n-channel and p-channel MOSFETs. Key aspects covered include the MOSFET structure with gate, source, and drain terminals, the switch model showing the transistor is on or off depending on the gate voltage, and the characteristics in different operating regions such as cutoff, triode, and saturation.
