An enhancement MOSFET doesn't conduct current across the drain to source unless a voltage is applied to the gate. When sufficient voltage is applied to the gate of the transistor, currents flows from drain to source.
A MOSFET acts as a switch or amplifier in a circuit.

What are the classifications of MOSFET?
MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, It is broadly Classified into Depletion type MOSFETS and Enhancement type MOSFETS. Depletion type MOSFETS are further classified into P-Channel and N-Channel Depletion type MOSFET, Similarly Enhancement type MOSFETS are further classified into P-Channel and N-Channel Enhancement type MOSFET.
Main factor which differ De mosfet from an e only mosfet?
An e only(enhancement) ÊMOSFET is off at zero gate-source voltage. Meanwhile, a de (depletion enhancement)ÊMOSFET is on at zero gate-source voltage.
Construction of mosfet in depletion region?
To make a depletion MOSFET, the channel must be doped with carriers; this is in total opposite to an enhancement MOSFET which avoids carriers in the channel at all cost. (because the carriers in the channel become the subthreshold leakage current) Since you need to pinch the channel against the substrate to guarantee to turn off the channel completely, there must be a reverse bias between the substrate and the source terminal. As a result, the source terminal of an N type depletion MOSFET must be tied to Vdd. This is also a complete opposite to enhancement MOSFET. In order to turn off the channel quickly, the carriers in the channel of depletion MOSFET are usually planted shallowly. This is a drastically different from enhancement MOSFET that carriers must be planted deeply into source terminal in order to support a large diffuse current. The construction of depletion MOSFET thus requires far less diffusion time than enhancement MOSFET.
The value of gate voltage for the operation of enhancement of only N channel MOSFET has to be high positive?
yes.
Advantages and disadvantages of depletion MOSFET?
Since the logic operations of depletion MOSFET is the opposite to the enhancement MOSFET, the depletion MOSFET produces positive logic circuits, such as, buffer, AND, and OR. The most significant advantage of the positive logic circuits is that it can produce positive feedback easily so that a single depletion MOSFET can become a memory cell. In contrast, you will need at least two enhancement MOSFET transistor to produce the positive feedback to build a memory cell. The other advantages of depletion MOSFET are that it is free from sub-threshold leakage current and gate-oxide leakage current. Since there is always a potential difference of Vdd between the gate terminal and channel for an enhancement MOSFET to cause the gate-oxide leakage current, the gate oxide leakage current is unavoidable when the transistor shrinks in size and oxide layer becomes thinner. The depletion MOSFET does not have this problem because there is no potential difference between the gate and channel. As a enhancement MOSFET shrinking in size, there is no way to stop the subthreshold leakage current diffused across from source to drain because the drain and source terminals are closer physically. This is not a problem for depletion MOSFET because a pinched channel will stop the diffusion current completely. The depletion MOSFET is the ideal, perfect transistor. The only disadvantage of depletion MOSFET is its inability to produce negative logic operations.
What transistor can be used in enhancement mode?

Can depletion mosfet act as enhancement mosfet?
It depends. A depletion MOSFET can be used as an ehancemnet MOSFET when it is operated as an analog amplifier. However, a depletion MOSFET can't replace an enhancement MOSFET when it is operated as a digital switch. When a depletion MOSFET is used as a digital switch, since the junction between source terminal and substrate must be reverse biased, the voltage of the source terminal of an N typde transistor must be tied to Vdd, and it is completely opposite to an enhancement MOSFET. When a depletion MOSFET is used as an analog amplifer, the source terminal and the substrate are both at the same potential, just like an enhancement MOSFET.

What are depletion and enhancement mosfet?
A depletion MOSFET is a MOSFET that is normally on. It outputs maximum current when the gate-source voltage is 0V. As the gate-source voltage increases, the drain-source channel becomes more resistive and the current decreases. An enhancement MOSFET has the opposite behavior. It is normally off. It outputs no current when the gate-source voltage is 0V. As the gate-source voltage increases, the drain-source channel becomes less resistive and the current increases.
