What is another word for junction transistor?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈʌŋkʃən tɹanzˈɪstə] (IPA) 
Junction transistors, also known as bipolar transistors, are electronic devices that can amplify or switch electrical signals. Some synonyms for the term "junction transistor" can include "bipolar transistor," "p-n-p transistor," or "n-p-n transistor." These types of transistors have three layers: a base, collector, and emitter, which are either p-type (containing a higher concentration of positively charged holes) or n-type (containing a higher concentration of negatively charged electrons). The operation of junction transistors is based on the movement and control of these charge carriers. Other variations of transistors, such as field-effect transistors, operate using a different mechanism and do not necessarily have the same layers as junction transistors.
