Original amplifier using only emitter and base of a Si bipolar transistor

Kensho Okamoto, Jun‐ichi Fujita, M. Ishikawa, Tetsuo Hattori

Abstract

We demonstrate in this paper that it is possible to operate a certain bipolar transistor as an amplifier using only the emitter and base without using the collector. This study was performed based on the novel hypothesis that the bipolar transistor works by the internal photovoltaic effect.
