High power JFETs are not common.
Enhancement mode is not possible in a JFET, i.e. the gate bias has to be below
the source voltage, ( depletion mode) which is awkward for simple powersupply arrangements.
Hence JFET are not suitable for logic gates.
The gate is insulated electrically from the channel, no current flows between
the gate and the channel, no matter what the gate voltage is.
Thus, the MOSFET has practically infinite impedance . This makes MOSFETsuseful for power amplifiers.

MOS metal-oxide-semiconductor structure.
MOSFET is a four-terminal device: gate (G), source (S), drain (D) and
body (B).
The device size (channel region) is specified by channel width (W) andchannel length (L).
Two kinds of MOSFETs: n-channel (NMOS) and p-channel (PMOS)
devices
The device structure is basically symmetric in terms of drain and source.
Source and drain terminals are specified by the operation voltage.

Consider the channel between drain and source as a series of resistors, source isgrounded and Vds is connected to drain, so the voltage at each pint along y-axis
is given by VGS- VDS(y)
At the point VDSsat = VGS- Vt , the channel is pinched off at the drain side.Increasing VDSbeyond this value has little effect on the channel shape and iD
saturates at this value.
Triode region: VDS< VGS- VtSaturation region: VDS VGS- Vt

Cutoff : VGS= 0 Sub threshold : 0 < VGS< Vt
Sub threshold region is useful in low power, low frequency, and low speed
applications
Example : Biomedical applications like heart beat measurement, blood
pressure measurement

The expression we derived for saturation region assumedthat the pinch-off point remains at the drain and thus iD
remains constant.
In reality, the pinch-off point moves slightly away from
the drain: Channel-width Modulation

Recall that Drain-Body and Source-Body diodes should be reversed biased. Weassumed that Source is connected to the body (VSB= 0) and VDS= VDB> 0
In a chip (same body for all NMOS), it is impossible to connect all sources to the
body (all NMOS sources are connected together.
Thus, the body (for NMOS) is connected to the largest negative voltage (negative
terminal of the power supply).
Doing so, changes the threshold voltage (called Body Effect)

Common source configuration serves as the gain stage. The disadvantage is high
output impedance.
BTW, to be a good voltage amplifier, we want Rin large, Ro small and Avo large.Feedback (Rs)lowers the gain of the stage, compared to a pure common-source
configuration. However, the benefit is an increased linearity and better high
frequency behavior.
Common drain (Source Follower) configuration acts as a voltage buffer. It provides
no gain, but has low output impedance. It is typically the last stage in a multi-stage
amplifier.

This amplifier provides gain and is useful when a specific (low) Rin is required.
This is, e.g., the case when the impedance needs to be matched, as with
transmission lines (e.g. to 50 ). Another application of the CG configuration is
that it acts as a current buffer (current gain close to unity, small Rin, large Rout).
