Question
In your own words, on the qualitative operation of both an NMOS and a PMOS transistor for accumulation, depletion, and inversion (triode and saturation). One paragraph should be on the NMOS transistor, one paragraph on the pMOS transistor.
Expert Solution
Step 1

When an NMOS transistor receives a non-negligible voltage, the connection from the source to the drain acts as a wire. Electricity will flow from the source to the drain uninhibited — this is referred to as a closed-circuit. On the other hand, when an NMOS transistor receives a voltage at around 0 volts, the connection from the source to the drain will be broken and this is referred to as an open-circuit.

NMOS Transistors – Operation

The basic operation of an NMOS transistor is explained below. There are three regions of operation for a transistor.

  1. Cut off region (VGS < VTH)
  2. Triode region (VGS > VTH & VDS < VDSsat)

Saturation region (VGS > VTH & VDS > VDSsat)
