pMOSFETs

Noun

pMOSFET (plural pMOSFETs)

1. (semiconductors) A type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) that utilizes an p-type channel, conducting when a voltage voltage below a threshold is applied to the gate relative to the source. It is commonly used in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology alongside nMOSFETs.
   • As shown in Fig. 2, the source-drain breakdown characteristics of PMOSFETS exhibit an increase in the drain current under the same drain voltage as the gate length increases.1990 March, Katsushi Asahina, Shuji Murakami, Katsuki Ichinose, Fuyumi Minami, Yasuhiro Funakoshi, “A 256-K 13-Nanosecond CMOS SRAM”, in Electronics & Communications in Japan, Part 2: Electronics...
