Best Answer

The FET is a semiconductor device with the output current controlled by an electric field. Since the current is carried predominantly by one type of carriers, the FET is known as a unipolar transistor.

FETs are sometimes called unipolar transistors to contrast their single-carrier-type operation with the dual-carrier-type operation of bipolar (junction) transistors (BJT).

What applications would prefer the bipolar junction transistors over the field effect transistor?

bjt is bipolar device whr fet is unipolar....fet is input resistance thts y fet gain is less compared to bjt..... The applications that will prefer bipolar junction transistors to field effect transistors are applications that require fast switching.


Why is a fet so called?

FET stands for Filed Effect Transistor. Bipolar transistors have junctions to control current but a FET does it by controlling the conductivity of a single channel by altering the electric Field of that channel.

Why jfet called as fet?

FET is a field effect transistor, abbreviated to FET. There are two basic types of FET: a junction FET abbreviated to JFET and an insulated gate FET , abbreviated to IGFET. The most common type of IGFET is a metal-oxide silicon FET, Known as a MOSFET. Modern microprocessors may contain tens of millions of MOSFETs.

Field Effect Transistor (FET) was invented in 1926 by Julius E. Lilienfeld.


Difeerence between n-channel and p-channel fet?

The field-effect transistor (FET) is a transistor that relies on an electric field to control the shape and hence the conductivity of a channel of one type of charge carrier in a semiconductor material. FETs are sometimes called unipolar transistors to contrast their single-carrier-type operation with the dual-carrier-type operation of bipolar (junction) transistors (BJT). The concept of the FET predates the BJT, though it was not physically implemented until after BJTs due to the limitations of semiconductor materials and the relative ease of manufacturing BJTs compared to FETs at the time.
