Term
FET
Definition
Field Effect Transistor, uses an electric field to control the shape and hence the electrical conductivity of a channel of one type of charge carrier in a semiconductor material.
Term
MOSFET
Definition
metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor
Term
SOI
Definition
Silicon on insulator, reduce parasitic device capacitance,
Term
parasitic capacitance
Definition
or stray capacitance is an unavoidable and usually unwanted capacitance that exists between the parts of an electronic component or circuit simply because of their proximity to each other. Electric field causes charge carriers to build like a capacitor.
Term
extrinsic semiconductor
Definition
doped semiconductor
Term
intrinsic semiconductor
Definition
pure semiconductor
Term
semiconductor doping
Definition
adding dopant atoms to an intrinsic semiconductor, which changes the electron and hole carrier concentrations of the semiconductor at thermal equilibrium
Term
N-type semiconductors
Definition
larger electron concentration than hole concentration, A common dopant for n-type silicon is phosphorus
Term
P-type semiconductors
Definition
have a larger hole concentration than electron concentration, A common p-type dopant for silicon is boron.
Term
n-fet
Definition
N channel Field Effect Transistor
Term
p-fet
Definition
P channel field effect transistor
Term
j-fet
Definition
junction gate field-effect transistor, three-terminal semiconductor devices that can be used as electronically-controlled switches, amplifiers, or voltage-controlled resistors.
