If your still looking for the answer it is essentially a switch controlled by an electrical current.

The two types of transistor switches inside a CPU are NMOS (n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor) and PMOS (p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor) transistors. NMOS transistors conduct when a positive voltage is applied to the gate, allowing current to flow from drain to source, while PMOS transistors conduct when a negative voltage is applied, allowing current to flow from source to drain. Together, these transistors form complementary pairs, enabling efficient logic operations and the construction of complex circuits such as gates and flip-flops within the CPU. This complementary technology is commonly referred to as CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor).
If you connect two transistors parallel it will heat up and be damaged.
Two types of semiconductors can be combined in different ways to produce different solid-state components. These components include diodes and transistors.

Moore's Law describes the pace at which central processing units improve. It observes that over the entire history of computing. the number of transistors in a dense circuit will double every two years.
Moores Law: A prediction, named after Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel; states that the number of transistors on a CPU chip will double every two years.The pace at which CPUs improve.
The two main types of transistors are bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field-effect transistors (FETs). BJTs operate by controlling the flow of current via two types - NPN and PNP. FETs control current flow using an electrical field, with types including MOSFETs and JFETs.
They are NPN and PNP. BJT mean bipolar junction transistors. there are two P-N junctions in BJT transisters.

There are only two companies now in the CPU world: Intel and AMD.
