12:22:18 ##forth <M-Sci> KipIngram: I wonder wat are Your thoughts on Static Induction Transistor? [[The VFET is a JFET that thinks it is a Triode vaacuum tube - aka Static Induction Transistor][https://youtu.be/93ke5wM0gZ0]]. One comment claims that Power FETs could be more efficient than Power MOSFETs.
12:24:38 ##forth <tpbsd> M-Sci, I saw the youtube about that technology, it's old japanese tech and the parts are discontinued now
13:07:59 ##forth <KipIngram> M-Sci. I'll need to look into that a little - I'm not familiar with the idea previously. I'm just getting my day going here and need to go exercise in a few minutes, but I'll follow your links later this morning.
13:08:54 ##forth <KipIngram> I know my way around semiconductor physics to some degree, but I'm really no analog "expert." My strenghts have always been more in the digital arena.
13:12:57 ##forth <KipIngram> I.e., you may find any responses I have here kind of superficial - we'll see.
16:39:31 ##forth <M-Sci> tpbsd: Why would it be discontinued? A brand might, and why should I care? It doesn't have a Saturation Region. And very low R[DS,ON].
16:45:47 ##forth <M-Sci> KipIngram: Of course.
