FET Characteristics
• FET is voltage controlled device
• High input impedance than BJTs
• Voltage gain is less than BJTs
• FETs are more temperature stable than BJTs
• FETs are minimal in size and weight
• Low power consumption
• Output impedance are comparable between FETs and BJTs
Applications:
• Can be used as linear amplifier or digital device in logic circuits
• Suitable for IC
• Widely used in high frequency applications
• In buffering (interfacing) applications.

MESFETs
A MESFET (metal–semiconductor field-effect transistor) is a field-effect
transistor semiconductor device similar to a JFET with a Schottky (metal–
semiconductor) junction instead of a p–n junction for a gate.
