Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) Quiz

BJTs use two p–n junctions between two semiconductor types, n-type and p-type, which are regions in a single crystal of material.

A small current injected at one of its terminals controls a much larger current flowing between the terminals through the process of amplification or switching.

A BJT uses both electrons and electron holes as charge carriers, while a unipolar transistor, such as a FET, uses only one kind of charge carrier.

<p>The junctions in bipolar transistors can be made in several different ways, such as changing the doping of the semiconductor material as it is grown, by depositing metal pellets to form alloy junctions, or by such methods as diffusion of n-type and p-type doping substances into the crystal.</p> Signup and view all the answers
