A junction transistor is constituted by two consecutive junctions: emitter-base and base-collector, in the reverse direction. ... if we increase the base current, (this is actually the base-emitter current because the base-collector junction is reverse biased), there comes a time when the collector current hardly increases. It is said that the transistor saturates. 2, record 1, English, - emitter%2Dbase%20current

Un transistor à jonctions est constitué par deux jonctions consécutives : émetteur-base et base-collecteur, en sens inverse. [...] si l'on augmente le courant base, (il s'agit en réalité du courant émetteur-base car la jonction base-collecteur est polarisée en inverse), il arrive un moment où le courant collecteur n'augmente presque plus. On dit que le transistor se sature. Dans ce cas la tension émetteur-collecteur devient relativement faible. 2, record 1, French, - courant%20%C3%A9metteur%2Dbase
