PAGE PAGE 8 Chapter I Basic Knowledge of Electronics Unit 3 The Transistor and Its Basic Circuit I．Lead-in Information related to the text Do you know what functions of transistors are? Not only are they made as discrete （separate） components but also integrated circuits （IC）may contain several thousands on a tiny slice of silicon．Transistors are devices performing many kinds of functions in electronic equipment. For example, a transistor may be used for amplifying, detecting, rectifying, oscillation, etc. When amplifying, a transistor does not produce the additional energy required fo
