Abstract
The experimental electrical properties of a vertical channel JFET fabricated by a double diffusion technique are presented. A table showing its principal characteristics for different values of the diffusion depths is included. The analysis of the “triode-like” operation revealed by the output characteristics is based on a two-dimensional numerical simulation of the device. At high drain currents ID is proportional to VDSα (α<1). This behaviour can be attributed mainly to the effect of channel length modulation by the drain voltage. At low drain currents, the potential barrier between the source and the drain determines the current magnitude. This is an exponential function of the barrier height which increases almost linearly when VGS increases and decreases non-linearly when VDS increases.

A Quasi-One-Dimensional Model of the Potential Barrier and Carrier Density in the Channel of Si and 4H-SiC BSITs

TL;DR: In this paper, an original model of the potential barrier in the channel of bipolar static induction transistors (BSITs) is presented, which allows us to evaluate the barrier height for an arbitrary gate topology and to accurately predict the minority and majority carrier densities at the middle of the channel for a generic gate bias.

Field-effect transistor versus analog transistor (static induction transistor)

TL;DR: The Static Induction Transistor (SIT) as discussed by the authors is a transistor similar to that of the vacuum tube triode type that exhibits the nonsaturated build-up character only when the internal negative feedback action is as little as G{m'} \simeq G_{m}.

The “barrier mode” behaviour of a junction FET at low drain currents

TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of a junction FET with a gate-source reverse bias exceeding the pinch-off voltage is discussed, and it is seen that both the transfer and output characteristics have an exponential character, and this is attributed to the presence of a potential barrier between the source and drain.
