...........the process yields what looks like 'blobs' on die,............

There is no such thing as an enhancement mode JFET. There is no way to create a built in field to adjust the threshold like a MOSFET.
EDIT - It must be happy hour.

"Blob" may imply they are hiding something. A teeny battery?

It seems to be happy WEEK. Cheers!

How would you call a Semelab SML100M12MSF then?

Much easier to do on wide bandgap materials like SiC, since they allow forward biasing the JFET gate without much leakage. A heroic effort is required for a normally off silicon JFET, see the above Infineon patent. The “pinch” voltage in this case is limited to some 0.2-0.4V before the exponential gate current kicks in and makes a mess of the conduction mechanism. Under the circumstances, I would think a high channel conductance would require a huge silicon area.
