The vast majority of all transistors are nearly pure silicon, with small amount of carefully added impurities.A small but significant number of transistors are mostly germanium.


Why do transistors sometimes need heatsinks?

These types of transistors are power transistors and generate heat. The heat sink is used to dissipate the heat. If the transistor gets too hot it will fail.

Why did transistors eventually replaced the vacuum tubes?

The main advantage is that transistors use less power. A typical small vacuum tube uses about 1.8 watts to heat its cathode, plus 3-5 watts to supply the main current to the anode. By contrast a computer motherboard might take 10-20 watts to power several million transistors.

Are transistors bigger or smaller than valves?

Yes they are. The invention of the transistor signalled the end of large, bulky valves in circuits. Modern transistors are so small - that thousands can be housed on one microchip.


Why processor named as microprocessor?

They're called as such because of the size of the transistors they contain which is in micrometer dimensions .The first microprocessor is INTEL4004 (1971) .As it was too small in compare to other processors at that time so they called that processor as microprocessor
