In a JFET, is the gate *always* connected to the bulk/substrate?

In a JFET, is the gate always connected to the bulk/substrate ? Or is there "no rule" (sometimes it is, sometimes it is not)? And what about the case of the MOSFET ?

Gate leakage current for a JFET?

I'm really confused about how JFETs work. JFETS are usually significantly higher doped donor xor acceptor atoms. My professor mentioned that MOSFETs usually have an oxide in between the the metal and ...

Iellegible JFET name, seems to be HEPxxxxx

I have this poor scanned schematic on which there is a Motorola P-channel JFET, labeled as Q5, and I can't read the name. It seems to me that the 2nd note is written "Q5 is HEP*1036" where * ...

Is it possible to create a (depletion mode) MOSFET using only single type of semiconductor?

If I understood JFET diagram correctly, the p-n junction is only used to isolate gate. Using same principle, would it be possible to construct a MOSFET with no junction at all, i. e. a single ...
