Enhancement mode A type of FET in which there are no charge carriers in the channel when the gate source voltage is zero. In these devices, the source and drain are not parts of a continuous piece of semiconductor material, and increasing the gate voltage increases the current flow from source to drain. Schematic symbol for an N-channel enhancement mode MOSFET Schematic symbol for a P-channel enhancement mode MOSFET See also MOSFET and depletion mode.
