Introduction to MOSFETs!

This simulation is designed to give users a visual representation of how a MOSFET would work under different scenarios by asking for input from the user and plotting the results on a grid.

Purpose of Tool

1. Provide a better understanding of MOSFETs to users.

2. To let users discover the different components of a MOSFET and how they are inter-related.

3. To explore how changing any given input parameter changes the output saturation current of the MOSFET.

4. Lastly, to garner a greater interest in the rapidly growing field of MOSFETs.

MOSFETs make excellent electronic switches. They can turn currents on and off billions of times per second. Digital computers use transistors as a basic mechanism for storing and moving data.

Audience:
This tool has been designed to help students better understand the workings of a MOSFET.
