nMOSFET

noun1

1. •
   A type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) that utilizes an n-type channel, conducting when a voltage voltage exceeding a threshold is applied to the gate relative to the source. It is commonly used in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology alongside pMOSFETs.

   • The source-drain breakdown characteristic of NMOSFETS exhibits an abrupt curve due to avalanche breakdown following punchthrough. — 1990
