The concept that forms the family of field-effect transistors, or FETs is that an external electric field may be used to vary the conductivity of a channel, causing the FET to behave either as a voltage controlled resistor or as a voltage-controlled current source.

The concept that forms the family of field-effect transistors, or FETs is that an external electric field may be used to vary the conductivity of a channel, causing the FET to behave either as a voltage controlled resistor or as a voltage-controlled current source. FETs are the dominant family in today’s integrated electronics, and although these transistors come in several different configurations, it is possible to understand the operation of the different devices by focusing on one type.
