Hello folks. I originated the RFET because I wanted to 3D print transistors for the purpose of 3D printing electro-mechanical systems. Since then I have designed and 3D printed some test structures with very limited success. It is also possible to make chip-scale RFETs, circuit board scale RFETs, and large RFETs for power systems. My personal focus, however is the 3D printed RFETs.
At this point I would like to characterize the RFET including the VI curves with emphasis on the low and negative voltage regions. The device is pointless without proper characterization, and a powerful circuit element once characterized, There are some amazing things possible in the negative regions including small signal AC superconducting and negative resistors, amazing though that may sound. I call it "active superconducting".
There is so much to tell and that is just scratching the surface. this is not just a novel circuit. It is an entire new category of transistor, also called a new transistor type. There are also many limitations and design issues which must be identified, investigated, and explored. So much to do. I am interested in help from others.
