Transistors are primarily made from semiconductor materials, with silicon being the most widely used due to its favorable electrical properties. Other materials include germanium and gallium arsenide, which can offer advantages in specific applications. The transistors are often doped with elements like phosphorus or boron to create n-type or p-type semiconductors, respectively, facilitating the flow of electric current.
Power transistors are transistors that are used in high-power amplifiers and power supplies.
Transistors are made out of semiconductors, yes.
Transistors are typically composed of three layers of either silicon or germanium semiconductor material: the emitter, the base, and the collector. The junctions between these layers determine the transistor's behavior as an amplifier or a switch. By controlling the flow of electric current between these layers, transistors can amplify or switch electronic signals.
The primary reason that NPN transistors are used more often than PNP transistors is that they usually operate faster (at higher frequencies) because the mobility of the current carriers in NPN transistors (electrons) is much higher than that of the current carriers in PNP transistors (holes).

There were vacuum tubes before transistors
integrated circuit
Its main component is a single element called Silicon (a Silicon chip) but this will have other elements deposited on it, comprising the circuitry, diodes and transistors.
