According to some embodiments in this application, a method for making a JFET device is disclosed in the following steps: forming a substrate; performing ion implantation on the first region and the second region of the substrate to form a deep N-type well, wherein the deep N-type well is formed with at least two sub-wells region; forming a field oxide in the second region; forming a P-type well in one side of the sub-well in the deep N-type well; performing P-type ion implantation on the third region and the fourth region to respectively form a first P-type heavily doped region and a second P-type heavily doped region; and performing N-type ion implantation on the fifth region, the sixth region, and the seventh region to respectively form a first N-type heavily doped region, a second N-type heavily doped region, and a third N-type heavily doped region.

A JFET structure may be formed such that the channel region is isolated from the substrate to reduce parasitic capacitance. For example, instead of using a deep well as part of a gate structure for the JFET, the deep well may be used as an isolation region from the surrounding substrate. As a result, the channel in the JFET may be pinched laterally between doped regions located between the source and the drain of the JFET. In other example embodiments, the channel may be pinched vertically and the isolation between the JFET structure and the substrate is maintained. A JFET structure with improved isolation from the substrate may be employed in some embodiments as a low-noise amplifier. In particular, the low-noise amplifier may be coupled to small signal devices, such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based microphones.
