5 JFET There is a long derivation to determine how the current depends on V and V. We will find a relatively simple formula (probably familiar to electrical engineers). Understanding the derivation is important for knowing when this formula is valid.

21 For velocity saturation, the approximation Ohm's law assumes v d = E f T vs L dv I dy Z( h x ( y)) n is not valid

22 JFET/MESFET JFET: small gate current (reverse leakage of the gate-to-channel junction) More gate leakage than MOSFET, less than bipolar. JFET has higher transconductance than the MOSFET. Used in low-noise, high input-impedance op-amps and sometimes used in switching applications. MESFET: usually constructed in compound semiconductor technologies lacking high quality surface passivation such as aas, InP, or SiC, and are faster but more expensive than silicon-based JFETs or MOSFETs. Production MESFETs are operated up to approximately 30 Hz, and are commonly used for microwave frequency communications and radar. Majority carrier device (like Schottky diode).
