If the effective width of the base decreases: – 1. There will be less recombination in the base, so α (and hence β) will increase. β = α / (1- α)

Summary • CB output characteristics are plots of IC vs. VCB: • IC = ICBO for IE = 0 • IC≈ IE in flat regions • IC 0 as VCB goes negative • IC increases at large values of VCB due to breakdown at the reverse-biased c-b junction
Common-emitter configuration • Input characteristics (IB vs. VBE) resemble that for a forward-biased diode but depend on output voltage VCE due to Early effect
Output characteristics are plots of IC vs. VCE for different values of the input current IB: • IC = ICEO for IB = 0 • IC>> IB in flat regions due to current amplification • IC increases at large values of VCE due to breakdown at the reverse-biased c-b junction
Common-collector configuration • Input characteristics (IB vs. VCB) • VCB = VCE – VBE hence: • If transistor is “on” VCB is fixed at VCE – 0.7V • As VCB VCE device turns off, IB 0
Output characteristics are plots of IE vs. VCE for different values of IB • Since IE≈ IC, CC output characteristics are essentially the same as those for CE • THE EARLY EFFECT, OR BASE-WIDTH MODULATION
