From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
bipolar transistor          A {transistor} made from a sandwich of n- and       p-type {semiconductor} material: either npn or pnp.   The       middle section is known as the "base" and the other two as the       "collector" and "emitter".   When used as an amplifying       element, the base to emitter junction is in a "forward-biased"       (conducting) condition, and the base to collector junction is       "reverse-biased" or non-conducting.   Small changes in the base       to emitter current (the input signal) cause either {holes}       (for pnp devices) or free {electrons} (for npn) to enter the       base from the emitter.   The attracting voltage of the       collector causes the majority of these charges to cross into       and be collected by the collector, resulting in amplification.          Contrast {field effect transistor}.          (1995-10-04)
