70. Assertion (A): A p-channel enhancement MOSFET based transistor can be turn on prematurely.

Reason (R): Most contaminants in MOS fabrication are mobile positively charged ions and they get trapped between the gate and the substrate in an n-channel enhancement MOSFET, whereas they are trapped on the other side of the substrate in the case of a p-channel enhancement MOSFET.

Read the paragraph and answer the Question Nos. 71 to 75.

The field effect transistor is a semiconductor device which depends for its operation on the control of current by an electric field. There are two types of field effect transistor, the Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) and Metal-Oxide- Semiconductor (MOSFET) FETs operation depends upon the flow of majority carriers only. It is therefore a unipolar device. BJT is a bipolar device. FET is relatively immune to radiation and it exhibits a high input resistance tipically many mega-ohms. It is less noisy than a tube or a bipolar transistor. It exhibits no offset voltage at zero drain current, and hence makes an excellent signal chopper. FETs are more temperature stable than BJTs. JFET is three terminal devices with gate applied potential control the flow of charges from source to drain. The n-channel MOSFET consists of a lightly p-type substrate into which two highly doped n+ regions are diffused. These n+ sections, which will act as the source and drain. A thin layer of insulating SiO2 is grown over the surface of the structure and holes are cut into the oxide layer, allowing contact with the source and drain. This layer results in an extremely high input resistance.

 

71. The point above the drain voltage, where there is no increase in drain current in a JFET is called as

(A) Break down point

(B) Pinch off point

(C) Knee point

(D) Critical point

72. FET is disadvantageous in comparison with BJT because of

(A) High input impedance

(B) Low noise

(C) High gain bandwidth behaviour

(D) Current controlled behaviour

73. For an n-channel silicon FET with α = 3 × 10–4 cms and ND = 1015 electron/cm3, find the pinch is of voltage. [∈= 12∈0 1/4π∈0 = 9 × 109 (Newton – m2) /Coulomb]

(A) 6.00 V

(B) 5.4 V

(C) 6.8 V

(D) 4.5 V

Answer: (C)

 

74. An FET is a better chopper than BJT because it has

(A) Higher series on resistance

(B) Lower input current

(C) Higher input impedance

(D) Lower off-set voltage

Answer: (D)

 

75. For an n-channel enhancement mode MOSFET the drain current

(A) Decreases with increase in drain current.

(B) Decreases with decreases in drain voltage.

(C) Increases with increase in drain voltage.

(D) Increases with decrease in gate voltage.

Answer: (C)
