Bipolar Junction Transistor

A bipolar junction transistor is a three-terminal current-controlled device. It is constructed with 3 doped semiconductor Regions i.e. Base, Collector and emitter separated by 2 p-n Junctions.

In an NPN BJT, there are two PN junctions:

  1. Emitter-Base Junction (forward-bias)
  2. Collector-Base Junction (reverse-bias)


In terms of band bending:

  • Maximum band bending occurs at the collector-base junction because it is reverse-biased, which widens the depletion region and increases the electric field, causing a greater potential difference across it.
  • The emitter-base junction is forward biased, which reduces band bending.
