The UJT is a three-terminal, semiconductor device which exhibits negative resistance and switching characteristics for use as a relaxation oscillator in phase control applications.

 

 

  • We observe that the emitter terminal is p-type.
  • The structure of a UJT is quite similar to that of an N-channel JFET.
  • In a unijunction transistor, the emitter is heavily doped while the N-region is lightly doped, so the resistance between the base terminals is relatively high, typically 4 to 10 kilo Ohm when the emitter is open.

 

The basic differences between the UJT and the BJT are as follows:

UJT

BJT

Only one junction is present in UJT.

It consists of two Junctions. It is a two junction transistor.

The conduction in this transistor is based on the flow of the majority of the carriers through it.

The conduction in this transistor is completely based on the flow of both majority as well as the minority carriers through it.

It can be used as the voltage control device.

It can be categorized as the current control device.

UJT cannot be preferred for amplification.

BJT can be used as amplifiers.
