To find the drain-source saturation current (IDSS) from the characteristics curves of a JFET, locate the transfer characteristic curve, which plots the drain current (ID) against the gate-source voltage (VGS). IDSS is identified as the maximum drain current occurring when VGS equals zero (VGS = 0V). This point corresponds to the intersection of the ID curve with the vertical axis (ID axis) on the graph. Reading the value at this point gives you the IDSS for the JFET.
Gate reverse bias
A Jfet works by applying voltage to the drain of the jfet. A jfet will then conduct across from drain to source.
reverse saturation current is produced by the thermal activity of the diode materials. This current: 1- Is temprature dependant; that is, it increases as temprature. 2- Accounts fot the major portion of diode reverse current surface leakage current is produced by contamination on the surface of the device, allowing current flow to bypass the junction
No, jfet works only in depletion mode.

Saturation region is one in which the output current is independent of the input and remains almost constant. Hence, MOSFETs in saturation are modeled as current sources( whose current is independent of voltage across it)
Reverse saturation current of germanium diodeThe current that exists under reverse bias conditions is called the reverse saturation current. Reverse saturation current of the germanium diode is typically 1 micro ampere or 10-6 a.At a fixed temperature, the reverse saturation current of a diode increases with increase in applied reverse bias. In reverse bias region the reverse saturation current also varies with the temperature.
When a diode is operated as reverse bias the current flow is almost completely blocked. A small amount of current is still able to travel in reverse through the diode and this is referred to as the reverse current saturation.
JFET is a unijunction transistor.
FETs don't have current gain as no current flows through the gate. The gain of a FET is a voltage gain and is called mu.
JFET = junction field-effect transistor. The transistor design is to restrict/control the current in the channel by expanding or contracting the depletion region, hence the channel cross-section, with a gate signal. The gate is the junction in JFET, compared with using oxide in an MOSFET.
