Modern transistors are so small that designers make heavy use of [[quantum theory]]. However, this isn't important for everyday use of the devices and a simple explanation of transistors is given below. There are two basic types of transistor: field-effect transistors (FETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs).
