Why in the output characteristic graph of BJTs, within the saturation region, is the collector current positive?
It is known that in the saturation region of the BJTs the pn junction is reverse biased. The reason for being reversed biased could be explained as follow:
Vce=Vcb+Vbe
Therefore
Vcb=Vce-Vbe
We can see ...

Why aren't the majority charge carriers attracted by terminals of a battery when the p n junction is reverse biased?
It is clear that when the junction is reverse biased, the free electrons from the n side can not pass the depletion layer and fill the holes in the p side. But why will the free electrons not move ...

Majority Charge carriers and electron holes
Suppose I have an extrinsic semiconductor made of silicon and doped with phosphorous. Now, phosphorous has one more electron than silicon. After replacing one silicon atom, and taking its place, the ...
