53. When and who discovered that more than one transistor could be constructed on a single piece of semiconductor material:
  • 1949, William Schockley
  • 1955, Walter Bratten
  • 1959, Robert Noyce

Show Answer
54. When is a P-N junction formed?
  • in a depletion region
  • in a large reverse biased region
  • the point at which two opposite doped materials come together
  • whenever there is a forward voltage drop
Show Answer
55. A P-N junction mimics a closed switch when it:
  • has a low junction resistance
  • is reverse biased
  • cannot overcome its barrier voltage
