Bipolar transistors
A bipolar transistor (BJT) is a type of transistor that uses both electrons and holes as charge carriers. Unipolar transistors, such as field-effect transistors (FETs), use only one type of charge carrier to transport current in their structure. BJT elements use two PN junctions between two types of semiconductors, n-type and p-type, for operation. These elements are available as single discrete components or manufactured in integrated circuits, often in large quantities.

BJT transistor – the most basic discrete elements
The bipolar blade transistor was invented in December 1947 at Bell Telephone Laboratories by John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, working under the supervision of William Shockley. The next iteration of this design, the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) , was invented by Shockley a year later. This opened up enormous possibilities in electronics. Transistors replaced vacuum tubes . They are better, smaller and more energy-efficient , but the technology of producing this type of elements has changed dramatically since their invention until today. However, it is still an integral element of every electronic system. Transistors not only allowed us to reduce the size of radios and TVs, but also enabled the creation of integrated circuits that often contain millions of transistors in their structure.
How are bipolar transistors constructed? What influences the flow of current?
A bipolar transistor consists of three differently doped semiconductor regions - emitter, base and collector . These regions are P- or N-doped and arranged alternately. Each semiconductor region is connected to a terminal, labeled accordingly - emitter (E), base (B) and collector (C). The base is placed between the emitter and collector and is made of a lightly doped, high-resistance material. The collector surrounds the emitter region, making it almost impossible for electrons injected into the base region to escape without collecting them, and the resulting common-base gain value is very close to unity, thus giving the transistor a large common-collector gain value. The current gain of a transistor depends on its type.
Bipolar transistor - NPN and PNP elements - differences in structure and operation
The order in which the P and N layers are arranged in a bipolar transistor determines its type and operation . BJTs are available in two types or polarities, known as PNP and NPN . An NPN transistor contains two semiconductor junctions that share a thin P-doped region, while a PNP transistor contains two semiconductor junctions that share a thin N-doped region. NPN is one of two types of bipolar transistors. It consists of a layer of P-doped semiconductor between two N-doped layers. The small current flowing (entering) into the base (called base current) is amplified to produce a large collector and emitter current. The presence of an NPN transistor is necessary to obtain a large collector current.
When there is a positive potential difference, measured from the base to the emitter, the transistor is active. PNP transistors are constructed in exactly the opposite way. They also have the opposite effect. They are active when there is no voltage on the base. Are you interested in additional information about the NPN transistor?

Bipolar transistors - FAQ
Bipolar transistors can be found, among others, in the power amplifiers of some audio amplifiers, as well as in the analog tracks of acoustic preamplifiers. A common application of BJT transistors is switching (switching) loads, e.g. relay coils .
In the past, bipolar transistors were the basis for the construction of almost all electronic systems (including even integrated circuits). Today, BJT transistors are most often used to control loads , although they can also be found in some audio designs.
Bipolar transistors have three terminals called base (B), collector (C or - in Polish literature - K) and emitter (E).
A transistor is a semiconductor device used primarily to amplify signals. Bipolar transistors control the current in the collector-emitter circuit based on many times (50x or more) smaller current flowing through the base.
