Abstract
These transistors will henceforward be referred to as bipolar transistors. Because silicon bipolar transistors exhibit much smaller leakage currents and can be operated over a wider temperature range than their germanium counterparts, they are used almost exclusively. A convenient silicon n-p-n bipolar transistor for experiments is the BC 107.
