Download this article in PDF format. When you connect the gate to the source of a JFET (junction field-effect transistor), it becomes a two-terminal current source. The current that will flow is ...
In 1947, Shockley, Brattain and Bardeen were investigating the field effect transistor but lead them into inventing the bipolar transistor instead. In 1952, the field effect transistor of Shockley was ...
