Transistors are the basic equipment required for the formation of the devices. Hence the development of these transistors has been a replacement for the vacuum tubes. A basic transistor can be formed by the combination of the p-type semiconductor and the n-type semiconductor. This combination is sandwiched between one p-type and two n-types. The other combination is of two p-types and one n-type. Therefore N-P-N and the P-N-P transistors are formed. These transistors can be classified based … [Read more...]

Transistors are also comes under the category of semiconductors. These are responsible for the revolutionary changes in the field of electronics. The first practical transistor was introduced in the year 1927 is known as point contact transistor by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley. The compression of the sizes of the electronic devices is only because of the invention of transistors.The word transistor can be split into two basic words. The very first one ‘trans’ is referred … [Read more...]

NPN transistor is a type of bipolar junction transistor and it is the combination of two n-type and one p-type semiconductor. In this transistor, the p-type semiconductor is fixed in between both n-type semiconductors. Hence the two n-types are present in it. The majority of charge carriers of this transistor are electrons. This transistor includes three terminals namely emitter, base, and collector. The flow of the majority carriers in this type is from the emitter to the respective collector. … [Read more...]
