Positive/negative voltage applied to the gate (with respect to substrate) enhances the number of electrons/holes in the channel and increases con- ductivity between source and drain. V t defines the voltage at which a MOS transistor begins to conduct. For volt- ages less than V t (threshold voltage), the channel is cut off. gate-to-source voltage (V gs ) Drain (I ds ) Current V tn 0 n-channel enhancement MOS -V tp Drain (I ds ) Current p-channel enhancement MOS gate-to-source voltage (V gs ) Assume source-to-drain voltage (V ds ) is fixed
