Chapter 6 - Transistor Biasing and Amplification
As understood from Chapter 5, the bipolar junction transistor is a current amplifier of its own. However, it can be made to amplify voltage also, as will be discussed in this chapter. The key factor ...

The First Silicon Transistor
Many people giving talks had complained about the current germanium transistors -- they had a bad habit of not working at high temperatures. Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the ...
