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.
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 ...
The JFET (junction field-effect transistor) uses a reverse biased p–n junction to separate the gate from the body. The static induction transistor (SIT) is a type of JFET with a short channel. The DEPFET is a FET formed in a fully depleted substrate and acts as a sensor, amplifier and memory node at the same time.
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]
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.
Channel length modulation (CLM) is an effect in field effect transistors, a shortening of the length of the inverted channel region with increase in drain bias for large drain biases. The result of CLM is an increase in current with drain bias and a reduction of output resistance. It is one of several short-channel effects in MOSFET scaling.
A graphical representation of the current and voltage properties of a transistor; the bias is selected so that the operating point permits maximum signal amplitude without distortion. In electronics , biasing is the setting of DC ( direct current ) operating conditions (current and voltage) of an electronic component that processes time-varying ...
Pinch-off voltage may refer to one of two different characteristics of a transistor: . in insulated-gate field-effect transistors (IGFET), "pinch-off" refers to the channel pinching that leads to current saturation behaviour under high source–drain bias.
