Field Effect Transistors (FET, JFET, MOSFET)

Properties

FETs differ from the bipolar transistors in the las chapter in that the current from a FET is only due to the majority charge carriers in the semiconductor while bi-polar transistors current is produced from both carrier types; electron and hole.

• higher input impedance than bi-polar
• less gain than bi-polar
