When referring to a junction field-effect transistor (JFET), the threshold voltage is often called pinch-off voltage instead. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This is somewhat confusing since pinch off applied to insulated-gate field-effect transistor (IGFET) refers to the channel pinching that leads to current saturation behavior under high source–drain bias ...
Figure 1: Basic N-channel JFET common-source circuit (neglecting biasing details). Figure 2: Basic N-channel JFET common-source circuit with source degeneration. In electronics, a common-source amplifier is one of three basic single-stage field-effect transistor (FET) amplifier topologies, typically used as a voltage or transconductance amplifier.
Following Shockley's theoretical treatment on JFET in 1952, a working practical JFET was made in 1953 by George C. Dacey and Ian M. Ross. [4] Japanese engineers Jun-ichi Nishizawa and Y. Watanabe applied for a patent for a similar device in 1950 termed static induction transistor (SIT). The SIT is a type of JFET with a short channel. [4]
As channel length decreases, the barrier φ B to be surmounted by an electron from the source on its way to the drain reduces. Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) is a short-channel effect in MOSFETs referring originally to a reduction of threshold voltage of the transistor at higher drain voltages.
Top: source, bottom: drain, left: gate, right: bulk. Voltages that lead to channel formation are not shown. In field-effect transistors (FETs), depletion mode and enhancement mode are two major transistor types, corresponding to whether the transistor is in an on state or an off state at zero gate–source voltage.
Improved JFET process technologies, discrete JFET devices and JFET topologies will continue to challenge highly integrated monolithic designs for sockets in high quality electronic products. The primary reasons are cost and customization. Costs are too high for integrated circuit companies to integrate customized high-performance for niche ...
