En appliquant à une électrode métallique [...] une tension négative suffisante, on repousse les électrons que le semi-conducteur a en surplus et l'on arrive à inverser le type du silicium. Il devient P (porteur de charges positives) dans [...] le canal. Source et drain sont alors reliés par un canal de même type qu'eux, et le dispositif est conducteur (cela est le cas du MOS-P). 4, record 3, French, - transistor%20%C3%A0%20canal%20P
