a transistor in which most current flows in a channel whose effective resistance can be controlled by a transverse electric field
A kind of solid-state device that is often more stable than standard transistors.
field effect transistor. A transistor that uses an electric field on a region within the semiconductor in order to block or allow conduction.
A field effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor commonly used for weak signal amplification (for example, for amplifying wireless signals). The device can amplify analog or digital signals. It can also switch DC or function as an oscillator.
A field effect transistor is a solid-state switching device that completes or interrupts a circuit electrically with no moving parts.
Field-effect transistor, typically used as an impedance converter at the element in a condenser microphone.
Field Effect Transistor, a majority carrier voltage controlled transistor.
A transistor in which the output current is controlled by a variable electric field. (Field-Effect Transistor) Report this Word Added by: mouser

A field-effect transistor is a unipolar device, which functions as a voltage amplifier.
Field Effect Transistor. transistor that makes use of the field established in a p-type channel semiconductor material to control the flow of current through the channel.
Field Effect Transistor. A bipolar transistor used as a current amplifying device.
A particular type of transistor. It has a variety of uses and in particular is used to make the gates in the CMOS logic families.
Field Effect Transistor – while the most common type of device fabricated in silicon semiconductor manufacturing is the CMOS FET (complementary metal oxide semiconducting FET), compound semiconductors use different kinds of FETs. New types of FETs are expected to become more important in upcoming device generations.
Field effect transistor. A semiconductor amplifying device which is voltage-operated rather than current-operated like the common bipolar transistor.
Field Effect Transistor. A transistor that relies on an electric field to control the conductivity of a channel.
(abbreviation/component) Field-effect transistor. A transistor controlled by voltage rather than current. The flow of working current through a semiconductor channel is switched and regulated by the effect of an electric field exerted by electric charge in a region close to the channel called the gate.
(Field Effect Transistor) Bilateral FETs are semiconductors used as the output switch of some sensing devices for their ability to switch either AC or DC, their low on-state voltage drop, and their low off-state leakage current. FETs are not tolerant of inrush current, typical, or inductive loads.
FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR. A transistor consisting of a gate, source, and drain. The voltage applied to the gate controls the conductivity of the channel between the source and drain. Examples of FETs are the MOSFET, JFET
Abbreviation for field-effect transistor. A semiconductor so named because a weak electrical signal coming in through one electrode creates an electrical field through the rest of the transistor. This field flips from positive to negative when the incoming signal does, and controls a second current traveling through the rest of the transistor. The field modulates the second current to mimic the first one, but it can be substantially larger.
