A: Any transistor of either polarity can be used as an emitter follower, The purpose of an emitter follower is to provide current to the load since it cannot provide any voltage gain
The (Class C, Common Collector) Emitter Follower is used to amplify the available current from a voltage driving circuit that might be disturbed by the load impedance. If the actual voltage value is important, the emitter follower is often teamed up with an opamp which sets the emitter voltage based on the input voltage.
Bootstrapping is used in emitter follower circuits to increase the input impedance and improve linearity. By connecting a capacitor from the output to the input, it allows the input signal to be effectively "lifted" above ground, reducing loading effects and enhancing the overall performance of the circuit. This technique minimizes distortion and allows for better voltage tracking, making the emitter follower more efficient in signal amplification applications.
No, the doping profile is entirely wrong. Also some transistors have very low reverse breakdown voltage on the BE junction and will burn out!
Depends on the circuit the transistor is used in:it can amplify voltageit can amplify currentit can amplify power
It is an amplifier that has no gain or a gain of one mainly used for isolation .

I think you mean a common emitter amplifier, which is an amplifier of voltage. Emitter-follower or common collector amplifiers are used to match impedances, or to amplify power or current. The emitter-follower is a type of common emitter circuit that has a resistor between the emitter and ground. The output signal is taken from the point between the emitter and its resistor.
emitter follower is a type of negative feedback ,

Because of the geometry of the common collector configuration, changes in base voltage appear at the emitter. Said another way, what happens at the base pretty much happens at the emitter, and the emitter can be said to "mirror" or "follow" the base. The emitter is a follower of the base, and the name emitter follower appeared and was used.
the same as the base minus Vbe drop. used for more power transfer
A: The ratio of emitter/collector resistance is the gain. by adding a capacitor on the emitter the AC parameters will shift as a function of frequency
If a bypass capacitor is used the voltage drop across emitter resistance is reduced which in turn increases the gain.....

configurations of Common-source (CS), Common-drain (CD) or Source-follower (SF) and the Common-gate (CG) available for most FET devices. These three JFET amplifier configurations correspond to the common-emitter, emitter-follower and the common-base configurations using bipolar transistors.
