A very small number of carriers (+) will through n-type material to the base terminal.Majority carriers (+) will diffuse across the forward-biased p-n junction into the n-type material.Reverse-biased junction of a pnp transistor Forward-biased junction of a pnp transistorīoth biasing potentials have been applied to a pnp transistor and resulting majority and minority carrier flows indicated. One p-n junction of a transistor is reverse-biased, whereas the other is forward-biased.The operation of the pnp transistor is exactly the same if the roles played by the electron and hole are interchanged. The basic operation will be described using the pnp transistor.

It can be conclude that the work of transistor is base on work of diode.

npn: B E IC=the collector current IB= the base current IE= the emitter currentīy imaging the analogy of diode, transistor can be construct like two diodes that connetecd together.

Position of the terminals and symbol of BJT.

Thus, a two-pn-junction device has four types of bias.

A single pn junction has two different types of bias:.

The term bipolar reflects the fact that holes and electrons participate in the injection process into the oppositely polarized material.

2 p- and 1 n-type layers of material pnp transistor.

2 n- and 1 p-type layers of material  npn transistor.

3 layer semiconductor device consisting:.

BJT consists of three terminal:  collector : C  base : B emitter : E.

It can be use as amplifier and logic switches.

The famous and commonly use of this device is BJTs (Bipolar Junction Transistors).

The basic of electronic system nowadays is semiconductor device.
