Question

transistor? amplify?


trying to figure out the meaning of lattice struction in semiconductor...
and, why a small current in the base circuit of a transistor can control a large current in collector part when "bipolar junction transmission" happened???
Thanks for any help!

I'm not sure what you mean by "lattice struction," but here's a description of the operation of a bipolar junction transistor:

The small current stops negative charge from sitting still on the base ( p part of npn
junction).
