JFETs are always wired in reverse bias and we have two types, NChannel and P-Channel. Here we remember the channel is big and
the JFet can conduct with zero voltage bias. Applying a bias
increases the depletion zone and will reduce the flow of current
until such times as it stops. A N channel has the gate connected to a
P-type electrode and hence a negative terminal. As the negative
terminal increases in voltage the reversed bias P-N junction
depletion zone increases and reduces the zone of majority charge
carriers until at some threshold voltage conduction between the
drain and source stops. In a P-channel J-FET the gate is connected to
the N-type and hence is positive charged to obey the rule the JFET is
always in reverse bias. Again increasing the positive charge at the
gate increases the depletion zone size and eventually stops
conduction.
11. MOSFETs. Know the symbols for all of the transistors. Two types
D, depletion type and E, enhancement type. The latter type is more
common and has no channel and a different symbol from the D type.
In an E type with N type at the drain and source a positive charge
will turn it on, as it creates a channel for major charge carriers to
pass.
Note a D-Mosfet, on the left, will conduct with zero voltage but the
E-mosfet will only conduct if the correct bias applied,.i.e a N channel
mosfet on the right needs a positive charge to create a channel of
electrons, and when no voltage is applied no channed actually
exists. The E-channel Mosfet is the most common mosfet in use so
know its symbol.
Note the
difference in symbol with D
