The width of the base is very thin to increase the majority carrier concentration gradient in the base region thereby enhancing the diffusion current and also to reduce the number of majority carriers lost due to recombination in the base.

If the base is heavily doped, a high reverse electric field will be created, which will lead to decrease in no of electrons reaching the collector.

Why emitter is heavily doped and base is lightly dopped working of p-n-p transistor?

Emitter is heavily doped because to provide charge carriers to Base & Collector region, Base and Collectors are lightly doped because to accept those charge carriers.

How many doped regions in a Bipolar transistor?

3: emitter, base, collectorThere are three regions but to be absolutely picky I think only two of them need be doped.Nope: they MUST be doped NPN or PNP. If any are undoped it will not function as a transistor.


Why emitter is heavily doped?

An emitter is heavily doped in a transistor to increase its conductivity and allow a large number of charge carriers to flow from the emitter to the base, resulting in a low-resistance path for current flow. This helps in achieving high current gain and improving the overall performance of the transistor.

What is the effect of temperature on hall coefficient of a lightly doped semiconductor?

hall coefficient of a lightly doped semiconductor will decrease with increase in temp as hall coefficient is inversely proportional to number density of charge carriers.

Why is the base lightly doped in a tranistor?

Since the base in an n-p-n transistor is kept very thin, very few electrons get to recombine with holes and escape out of base, most of the electrons are injected from emitter into the collector. As a result, Base-current is very small. Whereas the Collector-current is almost equal to the Emitter-current.


Difference between NPN and PNP?

NPN and PNP are transistor types. The difference in the way the layers of semiconductor material are doped with impurities.
