For transistor action, which of the following statements is correct?

For transistor action, which of the following statements is correct?
A Base, emitter and collector regions should have same size.
B Both emitter junction as well as the collector junction are forward biased.
C The base region must be very thin and lightly doped.
D Base, emitter and collector regions should have same doping concentrations.

Detailed Solution

For a bipolar junction transistor: length profile is $L_C > L_E > L_B$, and doping profile is E > C > B. For transistor action, the base region must be very thin and lightly doped, the emitter-base junction is forward biased and the collector-base junction is reverse biased.
