In a microprocessor, field-effect transistors behave as electrically-controlled switches.
A switch.
probably Silicium, cause that's what CPUs ar made of, and CPU are a bunch of transistors
A transistor acts like a resistor when Gate is connected to Source.
A: When a transistor is saturated current can flow in both direction qualifying it as a switch
The active region of a transistor is when the transistor has sufficient base current to turn the transistor on and for a larger current to flow from emitter to collector. This is the region where the transistor is on and fully operating.
Power transistor can conduct large amount of currents through it, more than small signal transistor. power transistor has a vertical structure and small signal transistor has horizontal structure.In power transistor quasi saturation region is present which is absent in the small signal transistor. In power transistor there is a inculsion of drift layer which is not there in the small signal transistor. Power dissipation is less in power transistor and it is more in small signal transistor. b.v.polytechnic,vasai pushkar vaity.
A transistor does not act as an amplifier. It is used as a component in an amplifier circuit.

For switching applications transistor is biased to operate in the saturation or cutoff region. Transistor in cutoff region will act as an open switching whereas in saturation will act as a closed switch.
The transistor was invented by Bell Labs in 1948. Applications in consumer devices followed within a few years after that.
Voltage amplifier
yeah...it can... if u attach a thermometer to it!! =) =P
pulse of positive voltage is not indicate to zero
central processing unit(cpu)
transistor size depends on its channel length, that is the length of the region in which a transistor act as an electron tube. the shorter the region, the lowest the resistance, the fastest the transistor, etc... so, it is always good to scale transistor size. problem is that you have to apply a 'good' electrical field in the channel, in order to drive a good 'ON' or 'OFF' state for your transistor. that's why it's not easy to scale their size.
