Question

The grown junction type transistors is generally used for_________

(a) PNP transistors

(b) NPN transistors

(c) Both transistors

(d) Depends on the material used

This question was posed to me in examination.

The doubt is from Transistor Construction in section Transistor Characteristics of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) NPN transistors

For explanation I would say: Grown junction type transistors are manufactured through growing single large crystal which is slowly pulled from the melt in crystal growing furnace. This is generally used for NPN transistors.
