Question

an e-mosfet operates in the depletion mode.
select one:
○ true
○ false

Explanation:

Enhancement - mode MOSFETs (E - MOSFETs) operate in the enhancement mode. Depletion - mode is for depletion - mode MOSFETs (D - MOSFETs). E - MOSFETs require a gate - source voltage to create a channel (enhance conduction), while D - MOSFETs have a channel even at \(V_{GS}=0\) and can operate in depletion (reduce conduction with reverse \(V_{GS}\)) or enhancement (increase conduction with forward \(V_{GS}\)) but are inherently depletion - mode capable. E - MOSFETs cannot operate in depletion mode as they have no inherent channel at \(V_{GS}=0\).

Answer:

False
