Definitions
Noun
- 1 A type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) that utilizes an p-type channel, conducting when a voltage voltage below a threshold is applied to the gate relative to the source. It is commonly used in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology alongside nMOSFETs.
"As shown in Fig. 2, the source-drain breakdown characteristics of PMOSFETS exhibit an increase in the drain current under the same drain voltage as the gate length increases."

Etymology
p + MOSFET, where n denotes "positive" or "p-type".
