Transistor!?!?
Semiconductor device
Transfer+resistor
Amplify electric signals
Transistors - 3 terminals!?
Base
Emitter
Collector
Types of transistor
Unipolar junction transistor - current conduction due to only one type of charge carriers
Bipolar junction transistor - due to both type of transistor
BJT types!?
npn
Pnp
3 terminals!?
Base - lightly doped
Emitter, collector - heavily doped
Collector - area slightly higher
3 region where the transistor works
Active (EB - forward bias; CB- reverse biase)
Cut-off
Saturation
