UJT
Unijunction Transistor
(UJT): An Overview
The Unijunction Transistor (UJT) is a three-terminal semiconductor
device used for triggering and timing applications. It differs from a
traditional diode by having a third terminal, and from a FET
because it does not amplify.
Construction of a UJT

Structure Operation

A lightly doped n-type silicon bar forms the base, with The emitter is closer to Base-2 than B1, resulting in
two highly doped terminals, Base-1 (B1) and Base-2 lower resistance between E and B2. This allows for
