A transistor can either be NPN or PNP. It is a three-layer semiconductor device with three terminals—emitter, base, and collector. In the case of the NPN transistor, there is a larger current from the collector to the emitter due to a small current at the base. It involves an amplification property which is key to the function of the NPN transistor. A transistor can be used in two main modes - as switches in microcontrollers, and computers and as amplifiers in speakers and radios etc. These are foundational in digital and analogue circuits due to their ability to control current. Transistors form the backbone of the integrated

Energy bands refer to how electrons behave in solids. In the case of conductors where the conductivity is high, the valence band and conduction band overlap which lets the electrons move freely. In the case of semiconductors, the valence and conduction bands have a small energy gap between them such as ?1 eV. There is a requirement for some external energy for electrons to jump to the conduction band. The gap is large in the case of insulators (>3 eV), making the electron movement nearly impossible. The energy band model differentiates how easily a material can conduct electricity. In semiconductors, there is controlled conductivity wh

According to the NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Physics Chapter 14 Semiconductor Electronics, intrinsic semiconductors are pure forms of semiconductor materials with no impurities like germanium or silicon. At room temperature, their conductivity is very low because they are solely based on thermally generated charge carriers (electrons and holes). On the other hand, extrinsic semiconductors to increase the conductivity, they are doped with impurities. P-type are doped with trivalent atoms (extra holes) and N-type semiconductors are doped with pentavalent atoms (extra electrons).
Doping makes extrinsic semiconductors far more conductive b

A Zener diode comes under the p-n junction diode. It is a special type of p-n junction diode which is created to function in the reverse bias. It operates beyond the breakdown voltage without damage. When the current stays within limits, irrespective of the input voltage changes, it maintains a constant voltage across its terminals. A Zener diode is ideal for voltage regulation because it ensures that during power supplies, the sensitive components get a steady voltage. It protects them from fluctuations. They are essential in voltage limiters, clamping circuits, and reference voltage setups in control systems and electronic devices.

As the name suggests, a p-n junction diode means an n-type and p-type semiconductor joined together. At the junction, they form a depletion region. In forward bias where n is connected to negative and p to positive, the barrier potential reduces, allowing the current to flow. In reverse bias, there is a tiny leakage but the current is blocked and the barrier increases. This one-way behaviour is ideal for signal demodulation, rectification (converting AC to DC) and voltage regulation. They are the basic or fundamental components in logic gates, power supplies and communication systems offering efficiency, high-speed and reliability.
