What is a Transistor?Semiconductors: ability to
change from conductor to insulator
Can either allow current or prohibit current to flow
Useful as a switch, but also as an amplifier
Essential part of many technological advances

How Transistors WorkDoping: adding small amounts of
other elements to create additional protons or electrons
P-Type: dopants lack a fourth valence electron (Boron, Aluminum)
N-Type: dopants have an additional (5th) valence electron (Phosphorus, Arsenic)
Importance: Current only flows from P to N

DOPINGThe addition of a small
amount of a different substance to a pure semiconductor crystal.
The impurities give an excess of conducting electrons or an excess of conducting holes which is crucial for making a working transistor.

TYPES OF TRANSISTORBipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)
Field-Effect Transistor (FET)
Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET)
Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET)
![Page 11: Transistor history and types](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102821/58ee93501a28abbe248b45d9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) The field-effect
transistor (FET) controls the current between two points but does so differently than the bipolar transistor.
The FET operates by the effects of an electric field.
This is why the FET is sometimes called a unipolar transistor.

JFET Properties Cut-off voltage is varying
for each JFET0.3V – 10V
N-Channel – Negative VGS P-Channel – Positive VGS
Internal Capacitance Do not Forward Bias
JFET – burn out

Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor(MOSFET)
The most common field effect transistor in both digital and analog circuits.Uses channel of n or p-type semiconductor, named NMOSFET and PMOSFET, respectively.

SILICON ON INSULATOR (SOI)For high-frequency
circuits (about 5 GHz) capacitive coupling to the Si substrate limits the switching frequency.
These problems are being avoided by making circuits on insulating substrates that have a thin, approximately 100 nm layer of crystalline silicon

APPLICATIONIn integrated circuits, the desirable
properties of MOSFETs allowed them to capture nearly all market share for digital circuits.
Discrete MOSFETs can be applied in transistor applications, including analog circuit.

MEDICAL APPLICATIONThere is great interest in
constructing nano electronic devices that could detect the concentrations of bio molecules
A parallel line of research seeks to create nano electronic devices which could interact with single cells for use in basic biological research.
These devices are called nano sensors.

USING IN COMPUTER
Transistors have continued to get smaller and smaller.
For instance, each memory location in a computer has a pair of transistors, and there are 16 of them for each byte of memory.

COMPUTER MEMORYNormally, a junction transistor is "off" when
there is no base current and switches to "on" when the base current flows. That means it takes an electric current to switch the transistor on or off.This kind of arrangement is known as a
flip-flop
