A unijunction transistor (UJT) is a three-terminal semiconductor device primarily used as an electrically controlled switch, notable for its role in triggering devices like SCRs and triacs, as well as in timing circuits and oscillators. It consists of a lightly doped n-type silicon bar and a heavily doped p-type material, with specific regions termed base 1, base 2, and emitter. The document outlines its construction, working principles, characteristics including cutoff and saturation regions, and various applications.

- 6. BSI|2020BrandGuidelines Construction of UJT In Unijunction Transistor, the PN Junction is formed by lightly doped N type silicon bar with heavily doped P type material on one side. The ohmic contact on either ends of the silicon bar is termed as Base 1 (B1) and Base 2 (B2) and P-type terminal is named as emitter.
- 7. WorkingofUJT The simplified equivalent circuit (at Figure) shows that N-type channel consists of two resistors RB2 and RB1 in series with an equivalent diode 'D' representing the PN junction. The emitter PN junction is fixed along the ohmic channel during its manufacturing process. 1. 2. 3.

- 11. CUTOFF Cutoff region is the area where the Unijunction Transistor (UJT) doesn’t get sufficient voltage to turn on. The applied voltage hasn’t reached the triggering voltage, thus making transistor to be in off state. NEGATIVE RESISTANCE REGION When the transistor reaches the triggering voltage, VTRIG, Unijunction Transistor (UJT) will turn on. After a certain time, if the applied voltage increases to the emitter lead, it will reach out at VPEAK. The voltage drops from VPEAK to Valley Point even though the current increases (negative resistance). SATURATION Saturation region is the area where the current and voltage raises, if the applied voltage to emitter terminal increases.
