i. Constructional structures
The UJT is made up of a lightly doped n-region known as the base region onto which is joined a small heavily doped p-region called the emmitter. The PUT on the other hand is a four layer device similar to an SCR except that the gate terminal of the PUT is connected to the n-region adjacent to the anode.
ii.Operation
The intrinsic stand-off ratio of a UJT is fixed hence operating characteristics can not be alterd. The PUT, on the other hand has operating characteristics that can be altered. These include base-base resistance,intrinsic stand-off voltage, valley current and peak current and all these can be altered by setting the values of two external resistors
The bulk resistance between the two bases, which will be different for different types of UJT. Consult the datasheet for the value.
voltageCurrent between the two bases of the UJT sets up a voltage gradient in the semiconductor. When the voltage on the emitter of the UJT rises high enough to forward bias the emitter-base junction at the voltage of the interbase gradient where the emitter is located, the UJT "turns on".
why ujt used as amplifier
the differences between UJT and FET are :- 1. structural :- a. there is only one p-channel in the UJT where as two in JFET b. the p-channel of UJT is more highly doped when compared to p-channel in JFET 2. functional :- UJT always works in forward biased condition (gate is forward biased) where as JFET always work in rverse bias condition (gate is reverse biased)
we can draw an equivalent circuit for UJT USING a DIODE and two resistors.draw a diode in emitter lead ..draw the two resistors in series.As rb1 in base 1 lead ..and rb2 in base 2 lead ..draw rb1 as variable resistor.And put a voltage to the ujt in order to get a positive voltage in base two lead.
The structure of a UJT is quite similar to that of an N-channel JFET. The main difference is that P-type (gate) material surrounds the N-type (channel) material in case of JFET and the gate surface of the JFET is much larger than emitter junction of UJT.

UJT is the voltage controlled device.in which only one mejority carriers are responsible for current flowing. UJT is one junction transistor and it is three terminal emitter and two base. BJT is the current controlled device. in which both mejority and minority carrier are responsiblefor current flowing. this type of transistor consists of two junction and three terminal these are : emitter , base , collector.

UJT is known as Uni Junction Transistor
by connecting the ujt with proper biasing resistors
For many people the letters UJT stand for Unitary Junction Transistor.

UJT (UniJunction Transistor): It is a transistor with only one junction and three terminals: an emitter (E) and two bases (B1 and B2). BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor): This type of transistor consists of two junctions and three terminals, namely Emitter "E", Base "B" and Collector"C". There are two types of BJT, i) PNP and ii) NPN.
