Bipolar Junction Transistor Basics
Biopolar Juntion Transistor(BJT)
Transfer + Resistor $\Rightarrow$Transfer of current from a low resistance part to a high-resistance part
p-n junction in forward bias $\Rightarrow$ Low resistance
In reverse bias $\Rightarrow$ Large resistance
Doping
Emitter $\rightarrow$ High doping
Base $\rightarrow$ Lightly doped
Collector $\rightarrow$ Moderably doped
Base $\rightarrow$ Thin $\sim$ micrometers
Transistor
p-n junction
Emitter, one puts an arrow
Arrow should go from p-side to n-side
Emittter base junction forward bias

Working of a Transistor
Base in lightly doped
Emitter is heavily doped
Typically
$I_c \approx$ 0.95 to 0.98
$B_{dc} = \frac{I_c}{I_B} \sim$ 20 to 50
$B_{ac} = \frac{\Delta I_c}{\Delta I_B}$
$I_c»I_b$
$I_c \lesssim I_E$
$B_{ac} \approx B{dc}$
$I_c \approx$ 0.95 to 0.98 …..
Common Base Emitter
p-n Junction
I-V characterstics
Input characterstics: $I_B - V_{BE}$
Output characterstics: $I_c - V_0$
$V_0 - V_c$ (Transfer characterstics)
$V_{BE} = V_C $(Output voltage)
$I_B$ = (Input current)
