How do transistors work, anyway?
I was disappointed with the article.<p>This doesn't explain anything new beyond a standard textbook. Same stuff - differently regurgitated. (If you want a swing on this topic MIT 6.004/nand2tetris does a better job & even talks about trade-offs such as doping, channel contaminations, propagation delays due to FET designs, which electrical engineers routinely deal with in production. There are few videos by Carver Mead as well who intuitively explains why transistor work the way they do.)<p>And for delving into F/R bias, junction effects, leakage current - there are no illustrations showing polarity or flow of charges. Sorry but this is just another low SNR article for today.
