Junction field-effect transistor (JFET) is a type of transistor (single-carrier-type) that relies on an EMF applied across the Gate and Source to control the conductivity of a channel (flow of electron holes) usually developed between terminals called Source and Drain. This device when influenced by a Gate potential EMF will cause electron flow from the source terminal towards the drain terminal. The channel of any FET maintains a process of doping which will produce either an N-type or a P-type channel. For example an N- type depletion-mode JFET requires a negative gate-to-source voltage which causes the depletion region to expand thus narrowing the channel. In an N-type enhancement-mode JFET a positive gate-to-source voltage is necessary to create a conductive channel since it does not exist.

Unless it is some leet speak term I am not aware of, BJTstands for Bipolar Junction Transistor or (less common) Business Japanese Proficiency Test.


How can the bipolar junction transistor be used as a diode?

A: Yes it can but why ? This is frequently done when the diode is used for biasing purposes on another transistor and must be matched identically to the transistor's E-B junction characteristics. Thus 2 matched transistors are used with one just being used as a diode.


What types of transistors are the following - BJT PCT UJT SBT FET GJT AJT DFT?

The BJT is the bipolar junction transistor, the PCT is the point contact transistor, the UJT is the uni-junction transistor, the SBT is the surface barrier transistor, the FET is the field effect transistor, the GJT is the grown-junction transistor, the AJT is the alloy-junction transistor, and the DFT is the drift field-junction transistor.
