DEFINITION
Classification: 327/417
Bipolar transistor:
(under subclass 415) Subject matter wherein at least one path includes a three or more electrode semiconductor device of the type having at least two potential barriers and having a controlled current flow of both majority and minority carriers (i.e., holes and electrons).
(1) Note. Npn and pnp type transistors are conventional bipolar transistors which have three regions, three electrodes and two junctions. Each of the three regions is connected externally by a terminal labeled emitter, base, or collector.
