The width of the base is very thin to increase the majority carrier concentration gradient in the base region thereby enhancing the diffusion current and also to reduce the number of majority carriers lost due to recombination in the base.

What are the parts of a transistor?

The emitter, the base, and the collector are parts of a transistor.


What are the two classifications of transistors?

The two basic types of transistors are the NPN transistorand the PNP transistor. Certainly there are many other semiconductor devices, but these are arguably the two basic ones.


What is the relation between transistor current?

transistor current is dependent on a factor known as Beta of the transistor. a darlington pair has a large Beta(10,000) , a small signal transistor such as the 2n3904 has a small beta of around 100. the beta of a transistor determines the amount of current that flows from collector to emitter ( bipolar transistors) for each amount of current that flows into the base you get a hundred fold increase between collector and emitter (2n3904), so you insert 1 ma (milliamp) into the base, you get 100 ma out the emitter. there is a doped region in the middle of the transistor that expands when current is applied to the base, this expansion allows more current to flow from collector to emitter (npn). there are many types of transistors but they all employ basically the same function. The mathematics involved is a bit more complicated but I speaking in general terms here to avoid getting someone lost.


How do you know if a transistor is a PNP or an NPN?

To know if a transistor is PNP or an NPN,the following should be verified:For a PNP transistor, the base-collector junction is forward biased while the base-emitter junction is reversed biased.For an NPN transistor, the base-emitter junction is forward biased while the base -collector junction is reversed biased.

Why emitter is heavily doped and base is lightly dopped working of p-n-p transistor?

Emitter is heavily doped because to provide charge carriers to Base & Collector region, Base and Collectors are lightly doped because to accept those charge carriers.

How many doped regions in a Bipolar transistor?

3: emitter, base, collectorThere are three regions but to be absolutely picky I think only two of them need be doped.Nope: they MUST be doped NPN or PNP. If any are undoped it will not function as a transistor.


Why the ammeter is highly doped in ujt?

In a Unijunction Transistor (UJT), the emitter is highly doped to ensure a significant concentration of charge carriers, which enhances its ability to inject current into the lightly doped n-type base. This high doping level creates a strong electric field that facilitates the rapid movement of carriers, resulting in a low threshold voltage for conduction. Consequently, the high doping helps achieve the desired switching characteristics and sensitivity of the UJT, making it effective in applications such as oscillators and timing circuits.


Why emitter is heavily doped?

An emitter is heavily doped in a transistor to increase its conductivity and allow a large number of charge carriers to flow from the emitter to the base, resulting in a low-resistance path for current flow. This helps in achieving high current gain and improving the overall performance of the transistor.

What is the effect of temperature on hall coefficient of a lightly doped semiconductor?

hall coefficient of a lightly doped semiconductor will decrease with increase in temp as hall coefficient is inversely proportional to number density of charge carriers.


What is power transistor base emitter voltage?

Why is the base lightly doped in a tranistor?

Since the base in an n-p-n transistor is kept very thin, very few electrons get to recombine with holes and escape out of base, most of the electrons are injected from emitter into the collector. As a result, Base-current is very small. Whereas the Collector-current is almost equal to the Emitter-current.
