Transistor:
- A junction transistor is formed by sandwiching a thin layer of P-type semiconductor between two N-type semiconductors or by sandwiching a thin layer of n-type semiconductor between two P-type semiconductors.
- NPN transistor: It is formed by sandwiching a thin layer of P-type semiconductor between two N-type semiconductors
- PNP transistor: It is formed by sandwiching a thin layer of N-type semiconductor between two P-type semiconductors.
Transistor consists of three main regions i.e. Emitter, Base, and Collector.
Emitter (E):
- It provides majority charge carriers by which current flows in the transistor.
- Therefore the emitter semiconductor is heavily doped.
Base (B):
- The based region is thin and lightly doped.
- It provides proper interaction between emitter and collector
Collector (C):
- The size of the collector region is larger than the two other regions and it is moderately doped.
- The main purpose of the collector is to collect majority charge carriers from the emitter.
- From above it is clear that in transistors, the emitter is highly doped and the base is feebly doped.
