At least there are p-channel JFET such as the MMBFJ175:

Central Semi also makes it. Here is a modern one:

They\'re equivalent to NFETs for two-terminal use, of course. I\'m not
instantly thinking of a common three-terminal use for one, but I\'m
probably just dull this afternoon.

P.S.: There was the FJ3P02100L, a bigger p-channel depletion mode MOSFET
from Panasonic but AFAIK it has been discontinued.

I guess there just isn\'t a sufficient market for that kind of FET.

Are they physical possible?

Whoops, wrong FET. Can\'t find it anymore.

It seems so:

Didn\'t NMOS logic use p-channel depletion mode?

I\'m sure they are; this one (zero-threshold) comes close.

<https://aldinc.com/pdf/ALD310700.pdf>

but it\'s a very low-current solution.

P-doped material in Si has lower conductivity (lower carrier mobility)
so there\'s not a lot of interest in discrete PMOS power devices.
If my old handbook isn\'t wrong, AlSb has higher hole mobility than
electron mobility... but no burgeoning technology around that
semiconductor.

Since they are basically a FET that is biased ON, you COULD use some
high shelf-life battery and a diode (also low leakage) and just change
the battery every 10 years or so ? I know, not elegant but should
work.

No, NMOS logic use n-channel depletion mode!

I think the MC6800 and maybe 6802, pretty cool uPs in their day, used
what was basically nmos RTL with depletion load pullups. The 6800
needed a weird 2-phase clock at 1 MHz.

I wrote an RTOS for the 6800, which was tricky because it couldn\'t
push the index register onto the stack. And had no hardware multiply.

(I wrote it in ink on paper and mailed it a sheet at a time while
visiting a friend in Juneau Alaska. People at work typed it on
punchcards and assembled it and ran it. They claim that it had one
bug.)
