Question

The base width gain in one type of these devices changes to reduction width in the Early effect. An insulating metal oxide layer may be found in a type of these (15[1])devices whose three nodes are the source, gate, and drain. The bipolar junction type of these devices are contrasted with their “field-effect” type, which includes MOSFETs. By (*) Moore’s law, the number of these devices (10[1])in a microchip doubles (-5[1])about every two years. Vacuum tubes were replaced by these devices, billions of which can be found in each computer chip. (10[1])For 10 points, name these circuit components that can be used to amplify or switch electronic signals. ■END■
