Transistors are one of the most important electronic parts in the world. They changed the world as we have known it and set the basis for the information age. To get a better understanding how these little things work, this video series wants to answer a few questions about them. 

In the final video of our short series about transistors, we cover the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor (MOSFET). Discovered in the 1920s, it took until the 1970s until these transitors became more widespread. Todays modern procesors have billions of them on an area of a few square millimeters. We want to take a look on its internal structure, its characteristics and the regions of operation.
