transistor  (trn-zstr)

An electronic device that controls the flow of an electric current, most often used as an amplifier or switch. Transistors usually consist of three layers of semiconductor material, in which the flow of electric current across the outer layer is regulated by the voltage or current applied at the middle layer. Having replaced the vacuum tube, transistors are the basis of much modern electronic technology, including the microprocessor. See also logic circuitlogic gate

1.

transistor - a semiconductor device capable of amplification electronic transistor, junction transistor base - (electronics) the part of a transistor that separates the emitter from the collector collector - the electrode in a transistor through which a primary flow of carriers leaves the region between the electrodes emitter - the electrode in a transistor where electrons originate FET, field-effect transistor - a transistor in which most current flows in a channel whose effective resistance can be controlled by a transverse electric field p-n-p transistor - a junction transistor having an n-type semiconductor between a p-type semiconductor that serves as an emitter and a p-type semiconductor that serves as a collector semiconductor device, semiconductor unit, semiconductor - a conductor made with semiconducting material electronics - the branch of physics that deals with the emission and effects of electrons and with the use of electronic devices
