    The MOSFET is by far the most widely used transistor for both digital circuits as well as analog circuits, [103] accounting for 99.9% of all transistors in the world. [101] The bipolar junction transistor (BJT) was previously the most commonly used transistor during the 1950s to 1960s.

  3. Unijunction transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unijunction_transistor

    The schematic diagram symbol for a unijunction transistor represents the emitter lead with an arrow, showing the direction of conventional current when the emitter-base junction is conducting a current. A complementary UJT uses a p-type base and an n-type emitter, and operates the same as the n-type base device but with all voltage polarities ...

  4. Transistor model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_model

    Transistor models are used for almost all modern electronic design work. Analog circuit simulators such as SPICE use models to predict the behavior of a design. Most design work is related to integrated circuit designs which have a very large tooling cost, primarily for the photomasks used to create the devices, and there is a large economic incentive to get the design working without any ...

  5. Bipolar junction transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_junction_transistor

    3D model of a TO-92 package, commonly used for small bipolar transistors. A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a type of transistor that uses both electrons and electron holes as charge carriers. In contrast, a unipolar transistor, such as a field-effect transistor (FET), uses only one kind of charge carrier.

  6. Single-electron transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-electron_transistor

    Schematic diagram of a single-electron transistor Left to right: energy levels of source, island and drain in a single-electron transistor for the blocking state (upper part) and transmitting state (lower part). The SET has, like the FET, three electrodes: source, drain, and a gate. The main technological difference between the transistor types ...

  7. Transistor diode model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_diode_model

    In a diode model two diodes are connected back-to-back to make a PNP or NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) equivalent. This model is theoretical and qualitative. This model is theoretical and qualitative.

  8. Field-effect transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-effect_transistor

    Cross-sectional view of a MOSFET type field-effect transistor, showing source, gate and drain terminals, and insulating oxide layer. The field-effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that uses an electric field to control the current through a semiconductor. It comes in two types: junction FET (JFET) and metal-oxide-semiconductor FET ...

  9. Darlington transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlington_transistor

    Darlington Transistor (NPN-type) In electronics, a Darlington configuration (commonly called as a Darlington pair) is a circuit consisting of two bipolar transistors with the emitter of one transistor connected to the base of the other, such that the current amplified by the first transistor is amplified further by the second one.
