Linked from

The 20 pages that link to Bipolar junction transistor, each with the reason it gives.

• TransistorBroader topic: Its current-controlled action distinguishes it from field-effect transistors.

• Vacuum tubeCompared with: It replaced many tube amplifiers and switches with smaller, lower-power components.

• P–n junctionRelated: Its operation depends on carrier injection across an emitter–base junction.

• William ShockleyBroader topic: Shockley developed its theory and design after the point-contact transistor breakthrough.

• Field-effect transistorCompared with: Unlike a field-effect transistor, it is controlled primarily by base current rather than an electric field.

• MOSFETCompared with: Unlike a MOSFET, it uses minority-carrier injection and requires base current.

• Semiconductor fabricationCompared with: Its device physics and process requirements differ from the field-effect transistors common in modern logic.

• P-type semiconductorRelated: Its p-type regions inject or collect holes depending on transistor structure.

• CMOSCompared with: Bipolar circuits can offer speed or drive advantages, but generally require more static power than CMOS logic.

• Depletion regionBroader topic: Its base-emitter and base-collector junctions each contain a depletion region.

• Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductorCompared with: Bipolar circuits can offer high speed or drive, but generally consume more static power.

• Transistor–transistor logicNarrower topic: TTL uses bipolar junction transistors as its logic and amplification elements.

• Forward biasRelated: Its base–emitter junction is normally operated in forward bias for amplification.

• Junction transistorBroader topic: It is the most common modern meaning of junction transistor.

• Dependent sourceBroader topic: Its common small-signal model represents collector current with a current-controlled source.

• Semiconductor deviceBroader topic: It amplifies current through carrier injection rather than an insulated gate.

• NOR gateRelated: Bipolar transistors can implement NOR gates in logic families such as TTL.

• History of electronics engineeringBroader topic: It replaced many vacuum-tube functions with smaller, lower-power solid-state components.

• History of the transistorBroader topic: Its robust junction structure became the dominant transistor form in early electronics.

• Vacuum electronicsCompared with: It supplanted many small-signal tube functions with lower voltage and power consumption.
