    The JFET is an important transistor that was an early predecessor to the MOSFET. MOSFET stands for "Metal Oxide Semiconductor", referring to its construction with a metal gate electrode separated from the semiconductor channel by an insulating oxide layer. MOSFETs differ from JFETs in that their gate is insulated from the channel by an oxide layer, whereas in JFETs the gate is directly attached to the channel. An important JFET parameter, VGS(off), refers to the gate-source voltage at which the JFET turns off, and is important for selecting and designing with JFETs.

    What is the importance of JFET?


    The letters MOS in the acronym MOSFET stand for Metal Oxide
    Semiconductor. Describe what this means, in reference to the construction
    of a MOSFET.
    Metal Oxide Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) differ in some regards from
    Junction Field-Effect Transistors (JFETs). Explain in your own words what the
    difference(s) is/are.
    An important JFET parameter is VGS(off). Explain what this parameter means,
    and why it is important to us when selecting a JFET or designing a circuit
    around one.
    What does the parameter IDSS mean for a JFET? How can we use this figure,
    along with VGS(off), and VGS, to calculate the amount of drain current (ID) for
    a JFET operating in its active region? Write the equation for the relationship
    between these four variables.
    What is the basic difference between D-MOSFET and E-MOSFET?
    How will you determine the drain characteristics of JFET? What do they
    indicate?

    Assignment. c.w.
    Discuss the re transistor model of a commonemitter configuration.
