Greetings,
I wonder if anyone can help explain the use of Quantum Physics in explaining transistor action.
IMO the flow of electron and the interaction between those electrons and junction voltages can easily explain how transistor works.
thanks Padmow
That would be the job of a text or treatise, not a newsgroup posting.
Until you involve quantum theory into your explanation, the reason that electrons move under particular conditions will have to be magic or "That's the way they act." I dare say that, without quantum theory, the state of computers would be such that you would not be posting.

Did not Albert Einstein address the answer in one of his seminal 1905 papers on this?
The actual transistor came about 20 years later and then was rediscovered another 20 years later. Apparently the three Nobel prize winners at Bells Labs missed the first patent application in the
20's.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
