Bipolar Junction Transistor

Front

In an NPN transistor, the N regions are: base and emitter, base and collector, emitter and collector, base and ground

Back

emitter and collector

Front

When a transistor is conducting as much as it can, it is said to be

Back

in a state of saturation

Front

It is constructed with three doped semiconductor regions separated by two pn-junctions

BJT

Front

BJT stands for

Back

Bipolar Junction Transistor

Front

The region of a BJT that is lightly doped and very thin compared to other two regions

Back

base

Front

The heavily doped region of a BJT

Back

emitter

Front

The moderately doped region of a BJT

Back

collector

Front

The region of transistor's operation when both junctions are forward-biased

Back

saturation

Front

The transistor's region of operation when base current is equal to zero

Back

cutoff

Front

The process of linearly increasing the amplitude of an electrical signal and is one of the major properties of a transistor
