In reality, there’s a voltage drop between the collector and emitter (about 0.3 volts, but it depends on the transistor) when the BJT is ‘switched on’ but for our purposes it is sufficient ...

In this module on BJTs (bipolar junction transistors), we will cover the following topics: BJT Device structures, Energy band diagrams, Active bias, Leakage current, Recombination in base, Hoe ...

siblings to the other kind of transistor that’s abundant – BJTs (Bipolar Junction Transistor), popular enough that we typically just refer to them as NPN or PNP transistors. These are all ...

Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the ...

This design is the classical bipolar junction transistor (so called because it has two p-n junctions) that brings key elements of a transistor on a two-dimensional plane, including the gate, which ...

There was no doubt about it, point-contact transistors were fidgety. The transistors being made by Bell just didn't work the same way twice, and on top of that, they were noisy. While one lab at ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

A major breakthrough came in 1947, when John Baden, William Shockley and Watter Brattain of Bell labs unveiled the first functioning point contact Germanium transistor. In 1950, Shockley developed the ...

A type of 3D FinFET transistor from Intel introduced in 2011 with its Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The Tri-Gate design is considered 3D because the gate wraps around a raised source-to-drain ...
