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.
