According to DigiKey Electronics, a company in the industry in China:
“電晶體也稱為雙極性接面電晶體 (BJT)，是一種由電流驅動的半導體元件，可用於控制電流流動；其中，基極引線中的少量電流可控制集極和射極之間較大的電流。電晶體可以用來放大微弱的訊號、當作振盪器或開關。”
According to AutoDesk, a maker or industry design software:
“Transistors are used in almost every electronic circuit. Moreover, they are used inside Integrated Circuits (IC), logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, XOR, etc.), and many other electronic components. On average, an IC contains 42 million transistors, and an iPhone 11 houses 8.5 billion transistors.”
