BJT Explained Part 3 - Finite Base Width

If you've felt like the content here has been helpful, please consider donating to UCI with a mention of this channel: https://give.uci.edu/ In reality, BJT's have a finite base width, and this leads to some injected carries being lost in the base to recombination. This leads to a less perfect BJT with a lower gain, and in this video I describe what the consequences are of a finite base width. This is part of my series on semiconductor physics (often called Electronics 1 at university). This is based on the book Semiconductor Physics and Devices by Donald Neamen, as well as the EECS 170A/174 courses taught at UC Irvine. Hope you found this video helpful, please post in the comments below anything I can do to improve future videos, or suggestions you have for future videos.
