Re: BJT transistor
wisepie,
Your original post doesn't make it clear under what conditions the 0.57 and 0.6V readings are measured. I'm assuming that you are somehow forcing a known current through each junction (B-E, B-C), one at a time, and measuring the diode drops. You have two phenomena that tend to counteract. On one hand, the B-C junction hase a larger area, which would tend to lower the voltage for a given current. On the other hand, the Collector region has a lower doping level than the emitter region, which would ted to increase the B-C voltage for a given current. I'm interested in knowing how E-design came to his/her conclusion.
