Ouestion in symbolism...

Simple question...Do the mosfet symbols in the image have the same meaning regarding where the substrate is connected?




Thanks!

It depends on a definition of MOSFET as three terminal model in model file.
See your model file.

But I think body is assumed to be connected to "source" in three terminal model of PMOS generally.

There is no model file...This(1rst) is an image from a book which i'm was wondering if is means it is actually connected to the source as it generally the case...

If substrate connection is not shown, then it implicitly means that it is connected to source. In your case both the ckts are different

So having a schematic with the first symbolism(with the body pin  unconnected) for the pmos and for the nmos where do you assume that the body pin is connected in both cases.
