The JFET is a long channel of semiconductor material, doped to contain an abundance of positive charge carriers or holes (p-type), or of negative carriers or electrons (n-type). Ohmic contacts at each end form the source (S) and the drain (D).
I–V characteristics and output plot of a JFET n-channel transistor Simulation result for right side: formation of inversion channel (electron density) and left side: current-gate voltage curve (transfer characteristics) in an n-channel nanowire MOSFET. Note that the threshold voltage for this device lies around 0.45 V. FET conventional symbol ...
The same can be said for the dual P-Channel JFETs. Although, complementary P and N-Channels are built with the same process technology, because of basic differences between the construction of P and N channel devices, electrical specifications such as mobility and transconductance are slightly different for the P and N-Channel JFETs.

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.
The mode can be determined by the sign of the threshold voltage (gate voltage relative to source voltage at the point where an inversion layer just forms in the channel): for an N-type FET, enhancement-mode devices have positive thresholds, and depletion-mode devices have negative thresholds; for a P-type FET, enhancement-mode have negative ...
It consists of an n-channel JFET with the gate shorted to the source, which functions like a two-terminal current limiter (analogous to a voltage-limiting Zener diode). It allows a current through it to rise to a certain value, but not higher.
The conductive channel connects from source to drain at the FET's threshold voltage. Even more electrons attract towards the gate at higher V GS, which widens the channel. The reverse is true for the p-channel "enhancement-mode" MOS transistor. When V GS = 0 the device is “OFF” and the channel is open / non-conducting. The application of a ...
The structure of a UJT is similar to that of an N-channel JFET, but p-type (gate) material surrounds the N-type (channel) material in a JFET, and the gate surface is larger than the emitter junction of UJT. A UJT is operated with the emitter junction forward-biased while the JFET is normally operated with the gate junction reverse-biased.
