Solid-State Electronic Circuit Elements. Part III,

The article continues with the description and basic analysis of semiconductor elements. All devices considered here are classified as triodes and they represent different variations of bipolar transistors. This group includes junction transistors alloy, diffusion, pnip, mesa, epitaxial-planar, double-diffusion, surface-barrier, point-contact transistor, hook transistor, avalanche-effect, field-effect transistors, double-base diode and four-layer triode. The discussion of these devices covers their fabrication techniques and is illustrated by physical model diagrams, equivalent circuit diagrams and characteristic curves. Author
