    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to semiconductors, and more particularly to a junction field effect transistor (JFET). In one aspect, a method of fabricating a JFET includes forming a well of a first dopant type in a substrate, wherein the well is isolated from the substrate by an isolation region of a second dopant type. The method additionally includes implanting a dopant of the second dopant type at a surface of the well to form a source, a drain and a channel of the JFET, and implanting a dopant of the first dopant type at the surface of the well to form a gate of the JFET. The method additionally includes, prior to implanting the dopant of the first type and the dopant of the second type, forming a pre-metal dielectric (PMD) layer on the well and forming contact openings in the PMD layer above the source, the drain and the gate. The PMD layer has a thickness such that the channel is formed by implanting the dopant of the first type and the dopant of the second type through the PMD layer. The method further includes, after implanting the dopant of the first type and the dopant of the second type, siliciding the source, the drain and the gate, and forming metal contacts in the contact openings.
