This is one of those questions that has a number of correct answers.
In 1925, Physicist Julius Edgar Lilienfeld filed a patent for a field-effect transistor (FET) in Canada. The FET was intended to be a solid-state replacement for the triode.
Later in 1947, three American physicists at the Bell Telephone Laboratories invented the first bipolar point-contact transistor. The men were John Bardeen, William Shockley, and Walter Brattain. The three men received the 1956 Physics Nobel Prize for their joint invention.
Dr. Mataré was one of a pair of German physicists who independently came up with the point-contact transistor two months later at a Westinghouse Laboratory in Paris.
William Shockley also invented the junction transistor in 1951.
As with most "inventions", the inventor did not wake up one morning and decide to invent the transistor. It was the culmination of the evolution of a number of earlier ideas, developments and devices.
The semiconductor transistor was preceded by the triode vacuum tube which is capable of many of the same functions as your average transistor, but also, the characteristics of the various semiconductor materials, such as silicon and germanium, had to be realised, studied and developed first.

What is Si transistor?
A silicon transistor is a transistor made of silicon.
Is active is a cutoff region of transistor?
The active region of a transistor is when the transistor has sufficient base current to turn the transistor on and for a larger current to flow from emitter to collector. This is the region where the transistor is on and fully operating.
What is the purpose of the Unijunction Transistor?
A Unijunction Transistor is a transistor that acts solely as a switch.
What are the Similar transistor for 221334 PNP transistor?
Similar to a 2N3906 PNP transistor
How does a transistor behaviour?
how does a transistor behaviour
Different between power transistor and transistor that used in small signal?
Power transistor can conduct large amount of currents through it, more than small signal transistor. power transistor has a vertical structure and small signal transistor has horizontal structure.In power transistor quasi saturation region is present which is absent in the small signal transistor. In power transistor there is a inculsion of drift layer which is not there in the small signal transistor. Power dissipation is less in power transistor and it is more in small signal transistor. b.v.polytechnic,vasai pushkar vaity.
What is rt in electronics?
I believe that is resistor transistor technology TTL transistor transistor logic
How do you use 'transistor' in a sentence?
I can give you several sentences.I bought a transistor radio.The transistor amplified the signal.We studied the transistor in science class.
What is darlington configuaration?
A Darlington pair uses two transistors connected to behave as a single transistor with a very high current gain (beta). Transistor-1 has its collector connected to the collector of transistor-2. Transistor-1 has its emitter connected to the base of transistor-2. The base of transistor-1 with the emitter and collector of transistor-2 is used as a single transistor.
Are Tip0ff0401 transistor synonym's to 2N3055 transistor?
no is not !
How do you check transistor faulty or not?
the best way is to compeair the data sheet of that transistor to the readings of that transistor. . . . .and u can get the readings of that transistor by using a fungction genrator and a c.r.o
What does the base do in a transistor?
It depends on the transistor, you just have to look at the data sheet for the transistor.
