nMOSFET

English

Etymology

n +‎ MOSFET, where n denotes "negative" or "n-type".

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈɛnˌɛmˌoʊˌɛsˌɛfˌiːˌtiː/

Noun

nMOSFET (plural nMOSFETs)

  1. (electronics, semiconductors) A type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) that utilizes an n-type channel, conducting when a voltage voltage exceeding a threshold is applied to the gate relative to the source. It is commonly used in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology alongside pMOSFETs.
