In this article, we’re going to focus on using common bipolar junction transistors instead of relays to replace physical switches. In short, how to add transistors to existing electronics to ...

Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) including the equilibrium characteristics, ...

Commercial transistors started to take off after in July 1951, Bell Labs announced the successful invention and development of the junction transistor. By the end of the 1950s, bipolar junction ...

and field-effect and bipolar junction transistors. By completing this specialization, you will: Learn fundamental mechanisms of electrical conduction in semiconductors Understand operating principles ...

Radiation effects on bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and silicon defects are critical areas of research, particularly for applications in environments with high radiation exposure, such as ...

A brief introduction to solid-state physics, leading to discussion of physical characteristics of p-n junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and field-effect transistors: active, saturated, ...

A major breakthrough came in 1947, when John Baden, William Shockley and Watter Brattain of Bell labs unveiled the first functioning point contact Germanium transistor. In 1950, Shockley developed the ...

The same is true for the point contact transistor invented in 1947 at Bell Laboratories. With the arrival of the bipolar (buried) junction transistor in 1951, contact pressure effects on ...
