Question 8 • Physics

Which semiconductors are used in each of the three parts of a PNP transistor?

Answer
A
The collector and the emitter are p-type, and the base is n-type.
B
The base and the collector are p-type, and the emitter is n-type.
C
The base and the emitter are p-type, and the collector is n-type.
D
The emitter and the collector are n-type, and the base is p-type.

Explanation

A PNP transistor has two p-type regions separated by a thin n-type region. The two p-type regions are the emitter and collector, while the n-type region is the base. Therefore, choice A is correct.
