In a transistor, base is always thin and lightly doped. (True/false)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The base region is made very thin so that there is a better conduction of charge carriers from emitter to collector through the base. Moreover the thin base reduces the combination of holes and electrons so that base current is negligibly small and collector current is nearly same as emitter current.
