- In electronics: Using n-p-n transistors
A typical configuration is the n-p-n transistor (see figure), which has different levels of doping in the two n-type regions and other features that improve its efficiency; in the design shown in the diagram, the n-p-n regions correspond to the source (or emitter), gate (or base), and drain (or

- In semiconductor device: Bipolar transistors
…p-n-p bipolar transistor is the n-p-n bipolar transistor, which is obtained by interchanging p for n and n for p in Figure 4A. The current flow and voltage polarity are all reversed. The circuit symbols for p-n-p and n-p-n transistors are given in Figure 4C.
