Question

Which type of transistor is most commonly used?

Answer 1

Transistor:

1. A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electrical signals and power.
2. The transistor is one of the basic building blocks of modern electronics. It is composed of semiconductor material, usually with at least three terminals for connection to an electronic circuit.
   

1. BJT, FET, and MOSFET are the most often used transistors, with MOSFET being the most popular due to its excellent performance and low power consumption.
2. The MOSFET is the most widely used transistor in both digital and analog circuits, accounting for 99.9% of all transistors in use globally.
3. The bipolar junction transistor (BJT) was the most extensively used transistor in the 1950s and 1960s.
4. In comparison to BJTs, field-effect transistors have a higher input impedance.
5. When opposed to BJTs, FETs have a lower gain.
6. FET has a lower radiation impact.
