TBD

  1. Semiconductor components
    (approx. 4 blocks, based on previous lectures on Diodes and Transistors )
  1. Bipolar transistor (structure, designations, characteristic curve, characteristic values)
  2. Transistor as a switch (circuit, switching times and behavior)
  3. MOSFET (structure, comparison with bipolar transistor)
  4. Optional: Transistor as an amplifier
A nice introduction to the bipolar transistor can be found in libretexts. Some of the following passages, videos and pictures are taken from this introduction.
