SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the role of minority charge carriers in Field Effect Transistors (FETs) compared to Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs). It is established that minority charge carriers in FETs do not contribute to conduction due to the device's operational principles, which rely primarily on majority carriers. The participants clarify that the conduction mechanism in FETs is dominated by the electric field effect, which influences majority carriers, rendering minority carriers insignificant in the conduction process.
