Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) Chapter 1231 March and 2 April 2014
• Operation involves both electrons and holes, so is called “bipolar”
• Junction E-B is forward biased, so electrons from the E (emitter) to the B (base)
• Junction B-C is reverse biased, so minority carrier electron concentration in B region at the B-C edge is close to zero.
• In the B region, there is large gradient of electron (minority carrier) concentration; the electron injected from E region will diffuse across the B region into the B-C space charge region
• An electric field due to the B-C reverse bias will sweep the electrons to the C (collector) region
• The B regions must be thinner than the minority carrier diffusion length in order to make as many electrons as possible to reach the C region.

Operation modes of BJT
12
Mode BE junction BC junction Currents
Active Forward Reverse ic = βiB
Cutoff Reverse Reverse iE= iB= iC=0
Saturation Forward Forward ic < βiB
Reverse active Reverse Forward ic = βRiB
Analysis:
Active mode: most useful bias mode when using a bipolar junction transistor as an amplifier
Cutoff mode: no electron injected to the base, all currents are zero. Used as “off” state in digital circuits or open switch
Saturation mode: used as “on” state in digital circuits or closed switch
Reverse active mode: emitter and collector regions switch roles. Seldom used.
