bipolar transistor = bipolar junction transistor?

I think you are.

Indeed. When I first posted here I wasn't used to ppl calling them BJTs !

Graham

Yes.

I got this wrong on a job app. once.

Mark L. Fergerson

Indeed yourself. ;-) I made it through tubes, to transistors, did 8 years as a tech in the USAF, and never heard BJT until I met some fresh tech right out of junior college. I didn't know what it meant. ;-)

Naaah! Bipolar is a disorder exhibited by a great number of posters to this newsgroup ;-)

Bipolar mood disorders, also known as manic-depressive disorders, do afflict at least one regular poster on this newsgroup. It isn't evident in his postings.

Most of the rest of us are very even-tempered - always mad.

A good question would be "what about point contact transistors"?

It still has junctions.
