Question

Full form of MOSFET is ___________

(a) Metal oxide silicon field effect transistor

(b) Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor

(c) Metal oxide settle field effect transistor

(d) Metal oriented silicon field effect transistor

The question was posed to me in my homework.

This intriguing question originated from Solid-State Switching Circuits in chapter Introduction to Solid-State Switching Circuits of Electric Drives

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(b) Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor

Explanation:

MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. It is a type of field-effect transistor (FET) used for switching and amplifying electronic signals in various electronic devices. The structure of a MOSFET includes a metal gate, an oxide layer (usually silicon dioxide), and a semiconductor material (typically silicon), which is where the channel forms for the current to flow when the transistor is activated.

Thus, the correct expansion of MOSFET is Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, as given in option (b).
