It’s a tribute to those many researchers and JFET engineers from the 1960s and ’70s

that many of the products they created and modeled are still available today, nearly 40

years later, and still finding new applications.

6.2 Characteristics of the JFET

Even though the silicon junction FET is made similarly to a diode or bipolar transistor

(by the planar, epitaxial process), it has some unique characteristics of its own, not

shared by the others. However, because the JFET is also a junction device, ...
