The transistor is a solid state semiconductor device that can be used for amplification, switching, voltage stabilization, signal modulation and many other functions. It allows a variable current, from an external source, to flow between two of its terminals depending on the smaller voltage or current applied to a third terminal. Transistors are made either as separate components or as part of an integrated circuit.

Introduction


Transistors are divided into two main categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field effect transistors (FETs). Transistors have three terminals where, in simplified terms, the application of current (BJT) or voltage (FET) to the input terminal increases the amount of charge in the active region, and thereby effectively increases the conductivity between the other two terminals, and hence controls current flow between those terminals. The physics of this "transistor action" is quite different for the BJT and FET; see the respective articles for further details.
