    Best explanation yet, something you can remember. Of course you can take courses in device physics or solid state physics and get lost in equations. Don’t mind the background music, the repeating motif actually helps you focus. Some people complained about the computer voice, but a strong English accent would be much more distracting. Very nice and thoughtful presentation.

    Hi, I have a question and I am not sure if it is okay to ask here. I have checked with other websites and I couldn't find a good answer.
    At 6:09, why can't free electrons cross the vBE junction for ANY vCE voltage? Since vCE will pass through the vBE junction, isn't it that free electrons are able to cross as long as vCE is more than 0.7V?

    Thanks for posting this great video. The volume of the music is loud but not enough to totally cover the voice. Some echo and clipping of the voice are in the key points to make difficult following the explanation, well done, but the masterpice is the popping box covering the final formula. I suggest to flash the video or alternatively shake the draw.

  • @BaldurKhr
    @BaldurKhr 4 года назад +1

    Super Great Explanation! The electrons can overcome the reverse biased BC junction because the B region is very thin and lightly doped, thus barely holding its electrons, leading to a lower breakdown voltage.
    Thanks!

  • @bonajab
    @bonajab 7 лет назад +12

    It's not kinetic energy of the electrons in the base that enables them to cross Vcb at all. The reason they cross is because they are minority charge carriers and they don't see a barrier. For electrons Vcb is down hill. So, the reverse biased current of minority charge carriers (electrons) across Vcb is large due to the large number of them. The reason the base is lightly doped is because only the electrons that don't combine with holes are free minority charge carriers. I think the reason the base is narrow is so that the concentration of electrons in the base is large. If the base were thick the electrons would fall down through the base instead of populating the base.

    Now I almost understand the current gain mechanism. The key words seem to be heavily doped emitter and lightly doped base. This seems to produce a swarm of free electrons in the base, coming from the emitter, when there is a base current present.

    I have doubts:-. We got amplified current output at collector(collector current is more than base n emitter current) ...but u said i(emitter)=i(base)+i(collector). That means emitter current is larger than collector||||||||||. How?

    • @DesertFoc
      @DesertFoc 6 лет назад +1

      Yes, the emitter current is the sum of both currents (base [Ic/B] and the collector current Ic). However, by increasing a low base current you also increase the collector current: current amplification. The amplification here is with regards to the base current which is clearly much smaller than the collector current (by a factor of B).

    So the idea is that; there are more free electrons in the emitter purposely doped into that region and that will contribute electrons to the collector when it has it's own Volt source... and that is the (Beta), the Gain of the transistor.
    Pretty cool Beans although amplification of a signal would be ideal.

  • @eugenepohjola258
    @eugenepohjola258 5 лет назад

    Howdy. This is my theory only. I posted this comment in another transistor clip. Comments are welcome.
    "I understand that the base current provides a "bridge" for the emitter electrons to jump into the base. I didn't understand the current gain mechanism earlier. Now I believe I do. My earlier thinking was that once the emitter-base depletion voltage is exceeded the collector current should simply "avalanche" through.
    In the following I apply quantum physics.
    The emitter-base turn-on voltage is not a sharp knee. Base current begin to flow at about 0,63V. The depletion zone has not disappeared completely at 0,63V. Only few electrons are energized enough by random quantum mechanics to jump / tunnel the emitter-base residual depletion zone into the base.
    When we drive more base current the emitter-base voltage rises to 0,7V. The depletion zone is saturated and has therefore disappeared. All free emitter electron can tunnel straight to the base and forward to the collector.
    So in my mind. The BJT is actually voltage controlled. When the base-emitter voltage varies between about 0.63 - 0,7V the residual depletion zone varies in "thickness / density" allowing more or less electrons to tunnel through.
    Finally it is worth observing that one cannot have a base-emitter voltage without also having a base current."
    Regards.

    Why no current can flow for the potential applied between collector and emitter? Is it not the same as applying voltage between emitter and base other than Vce has to overcome two potential barriers.... if Vce is large enough it should be able to overcome the two depletion region barrier and electrons should flow from emitter to collector...
