inset to Figure 14.2–1, which shows a slice across the transistor structure. The acronym “MOS” is for
(M)etal–(O)xide–(S)emiconductor, which is the basic form of the junction “sandwich”. For modern transistors the
acronym is not completely correct, since polycrystalline silicon or an alloyed form of semiconductor is usually
applied in place of a metal (M). But the acronym “SOSFET” is not in the common vernacular, so we will identify
these types of transistor all as ”MOSFET”s regardless of their religious convictions..."
