Bipolar transistors

(a) Draw a pnp bipolar transistor showing the emitter, collector, and base contacts.

(b) What are the doping levels of the emitter, the base, and the collector? How does the doping affect the emitter efficiency and the base transport factor?

(c) What is punch-through and what is latch-up?
