Comparison of D-MOSFET and E-MOSFET

Question: Differentiate between enhancement‒type and depletion‒type MOSFETs.

Comparison of D‒MOSFET and E‒MOSFET


 

1. Symbols

Depletion type: 

Enhancement type: 

2. Channel

Depletion type: Exists permanently.

Enhancement type: Channel is physically absent. It is induced after application of positive gate voltage above the threshold value for n‒channel enhancement type MOSFET and negative gate voltage above threshold value for p‒channel enhancement type MOSFET.

3. Operation

Depletion type: Can be operated in depletion mode as well as enhance mode.

Enhancement type: Can only be operated in enhance mode.

4. Current flow

Depletion type: Drain current flows on application of drain to source voltage, at VGS = 0.

Enhancement type: Practically no current flows on application of drain to source, at VGS = 0. Current flows only when VGS is above threshold level.

 

Review Question

1. Differentiate between enhancement‒type and depletion‒type MOSFETs.
