A particular $n$-channel MOSFET has $V_T=0.4 \mathrm{~V}$ and conducts in the active region a current of $2.5 \mathrm{~mA}$ when $V_{G S}=3 \mathrm{~V}$.
(a) What is the value of $\mathrm{K}$ ?
(b) What current does this same device conduct when $V_{D S}=1 \mathrm{~V}$ ?

Key Concepts

Threshold Voltage

The threshold voltage is the minimum gate?to?source voltage required to create a conductive channel in a MOSFET. It serves as a turning point for device operation, where voltages below this value produce little to no conduction and voltages above it enable current flow.

Transconductance Parameter (K)

This parameter, often denoted as K, quantifies the ability of the MOSFET to conduct current once the channel is formed. It appears in the quadratic current equation and relates the square of the effective gate overdrive (VGS - VT) to the resulting drain current, serving as a measure of device gain and fabrication characteristics.

Saturation Region Operation

In the saturation (or active) region of a MOSFET, the drain current is typically modeled by a quadratic relationship with the gate overdrive voltage, where I_D = K(VGS - VT)^2. This operation occurs when VDS exceeds (VGS - VT), causing the channel to pinch off and the current to become relatively independent of VDS.

Triode (Linear) Region Operation

When the drain-to-source voltage is smaller than the overdrive voltage (i.e., VDS < VGS - VT), the MOSFET operates in the triode or linear region. In this region, the drain current is linearly dependent on VDS, and is usually modeled by I_D = 2K[(VGS - VT)VDS - (VDS^2/2)], reflecting the gradual voltage drop and the resistive behavior of the channel.
