A-002-04: Field effect transistor (FET), JFET, MOSFET

A-002-04-01: What is an enhancement-mode FET?

An FET without a channel; no current occurs with zero gate voltage

An FET with a channel that blocks voltage through the gate

An FET with a channel that allows current when the gate voltage is zero

An FET without a channel to hinder current through the gate



A-002-04-02: What is a depletion-mode FET?

An FET that has a channel with no gate voltage applied; a current flows with zero gate voltage

An FET without a channel; no current flows with zero gate voltage

An FET without a channel to hinder current through the gate

An FET that has a channel that blocks current when the gate voltage is zero



A-002-04-03: Why do many MOSFET devices have built-in gate protective Zener diodes?

The gate-protective Zener diode prevents the gate insulation from being punctured by small static charges or excessive voltages

The gate-protective Zener diode keeps the gate voltage within specifications to prevent the device from overheating

The gate-protective Zener diode protects the substrate from excessive voltages

The gate-protective Zener diode provides a voltage reference to provide the correct amount of reverse-bias gate voltage



A-002-04-04: Why are special precautions necessary in handling FET and CMOS devices?

They are susceptible to damage from static charges

They are light-sensitive

They have micro-welded semiconductor junctions that are susceptible to breakage

They have fragile leads that may break off



A-002-04-05: How does the input impedance of a field-effect transistor (FET) compare with that of a bipolar transistor?

An FET has high input impedance; a bipolar transistor has low input impedance

One cannot compare input impedance without knowing supply voltage

An FET has low input impedance; a bipolar transistor has high input impedance

The input impedance of FETs and bipolar transistors is the same



A-002-04-06: What are the three terminals of a junction field-effect transistor (JFET)?

Gate, drain, source

Emitter, base 1, base 2

Emitter, base, collector

Gate 1, gate 2, drain



A-002-04-07: What are the two basic types of junction field-effect transistors (JFET)?
