A tetrode transistor is any transistor having four active terminals. Early tetrode transistorsThere were two types of tetrode transistor developed in the early 1950s as an improvement over the point-contact transistor and the later grown junction transistor and alloy junction transistor. Both offered much higher speed than earlier transistors. - Point-contact transistor having two emitters. It became obsolete in the middle 1950s.
- Modified grown junction transistor or alloy junction transistor having two connections at opposite ends of the base.[1] It achieved its high speed by reducing the input to output capacitance. It became obsolete in the early 1960s with the development of the diffusion transistor.
Modern tetrode transistors- Dual emitter transistor, used in two input transistor-transistor logic gates.
- Dual collector transistor, used in two output integrated injection logic gates.
- Diffused planar silicon bipolar junction transistor,[2] used in some integrated circuits. This transistor, apart from the three electrodes, emitter, base and collector, has a fourth electrode or grid made of conducting material placed near the emitter-base junction from which it is insulated by a silica layer.
