The base of a transistor is kept very thin and lightly doped as compared to the emitter and collector region so that

A

most of the carriers pass to the collector when injected from the emitter

B

base current is high

C

recombination is increased in the bae region

D

flow across the base region is mainly because of majority carriers

To understand why the base of a transistor is kept very thin and lightly doped compared to the emitter and collector regions, we can break down the explanation into a step-by-step solution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of a Transistor**: - A transistor consists of three regions: the emitter, base, and collector. In an NPN transistor, the emitter and collector are N-type (rich in electrons), while the base is P-type (rich in holes). 2. **Doping Levels**: ...
