Subtopics

• Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor [r]: A type of field-effect transistor with four electrical contacts and three layers: a metal top layer (connected to the gate contact), separated by an insulating layer (usually an oxide layer) from a semiconductor layer (connected to the body contact). The gate voltage switches "on" and "off" the electrical connection between a source and drain contact at the semiconductor surface. ^[e]
• Bipolar transistor [r]: A three-terminal semiconductor device used for switching and amplification. ^[e]

Other related topics

• Electronic switch [r]: Electronic switches are devices that can stop or start an electric current as a result of the absence (or presence) of a control signal. ^[e]
