Is saturation region defined for a "given" collector emitter voltage?

I have seen the traditonal saturation regions graphs (attached). The graph gives the impression that there is a huge region which is saturation region. Shouln't the saturation region be for a "...

Does the collector voltage have to be greater than the emitter voltage by few tenths of a volt for an NPN transitor

For an NPN transistor, does the collector voltage have to be greater than the emitter voltage by few tenths of a volt for it to be in active state? If yes what is the reason? Also it says greater by a ...

Transistor: Getting “incorrect” graph for input voltage to output voltage

I tried drawing the graph of \$v_o\$ vs \$v_i\$ for a bipolar junction transistor. I used the below setup (common emitter:) By design of how the base is a small part compared to others, \$I_b <<...

Question about transitor NPN [ALFA;Strange configuration;Exit characteristic]

first of all thanks for read and for your time, I have a few questions about transistor: 1) I can't understand why my book say: Ic=Icb0+alfa*Ie and not ...

Why is Ic constant in the plot of Vce vs Ic in a common emitter NPN transistor (in active region)?

In this plot, when \$V_{ce}\$ increases in the active region, shouldn't \$I_c\$ also increase as more electrons are getting diffused into the collector? Then, why is it that for a large range of \$V_{...

Comparing sensitivity to temperature changes of BJT (transistor) circuits in Common Emitter Configuration

I measured Ic variation with Ib when Vce = 15v kept constant for BJT (NPN) in Common Emitter config and also BJT Common Emitter config with series 47 Ohm resistor connected. From the experiment I ...

If the depletion layer of a transistor collector/base junction is thick, why are majority carriers still collected?

In "Principles of transistor circuits, 8th edition" (top of p26) it is said that once holes have been injected in the base region by a forward biased base-emitter junction (which I understand) of a ...
