full form of mosfet

MOSFET seems to be a hard word, but it is not very difficult! The acronym MOSFET stands for Metal (gate) Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. That's Quite A Name, Isn't It? In layman's language, a MOSFET is nothing but just another pathetic offering that to goes into the making of different electronic devices we take for granted such as those found in computers, smartphones and TV among others. This small part is crucial for the smooth, optimal functioning of these devices and helping them do what they should. Interestingly enough, almost every device we use daily wouldn´t work properly without MOSFETs.

Before we can really explain MOSFETs, there are some special words to bestow on them so that they make perfect sense. The "metal" part, however is related to the material that a gate makes use of. This gate is crucial as it regulates the power current. Oxide - the definition of oxide is a dielectric layer over top (the gate) to keep electricity away from it. The third layer is a shield which keep everything next to one another in perfect working conditions. Next is the "semiconductor," which is material that we dedicate to making into a path for electricity. The last term is the "field effect", in which current can change its voltage when we instead open or close a gate by applying power to it, allowing electricity down stream as required.

Mastering the Full Form of MOSFET

Let’s make it even simpler. A gate is like a door in a pipe that regulates the water flow. When it is shut, water cannot flow through the door. However, when the door is opened water easily passes and all built-up pressure releases. This oxide layer is a hard, protective barrier that prevents water from running where it should be. The water is the current of electricity, and semiconductor acts as if it was their pipe. This is why, when you open or close the door it depends how much water should be let down in pipe. This is a similar way in which a MOSFET functions to regulate the flow of electricity. The flow of electricity through the semiconductor occurs when the gate is opened and as soon as it closes that dam blocking river analogy kicks in.
