Very cool. So when you see electrons leaking into/over the channel, is this the effect of quantum tunneling?
Edit: Nevermind, the simulator's gh explicitly states:
> Because the simulation uses a very simplified model of how semiconductors work, it is not able capture some phenomena that show up in real systems. Things that the simulation cannot handle include:
Ohhh. I have no real knowledge of electricity or electronics, but I know transistors are very fundamental so if you squint a bit, you might say this is what we set in motion when we program, or even just use a computer! Or at least some of it. Not knowing enough to benefit from it I learned nothing, and don't regret a second of that.
Thanks, I have an EE education, but I didn't really understood what charges were doing in a BJT. I can use them and apply the formulas, but I never really "grokked" them. This makes it clearer.
it kind of looks unrealistic that there's so little flow, but I guess that makes sense for micro-sized transistors, larger ones that can handle several amps at high voltage should behave differently and would be a rather interesting comparison.
