BJT: the collector-emitter current is the base-emitter current times their gain, and also there's a diode voltage drop in there somewhere? ok BJTs stopped being used for switching things when I was about 9 years old so probably just search the equation or ask someone in their 40s
MOSFET: *insert five hour lecture on all the different MOSFET behaviours here*
IGBT: inflates ur MOSFET making it big and rectangley
JFET: uhhhhhhhhhhhhh idk ask the analog nerds or the metrology nerds, they love 'em

In response to this postSiCFET: MOSFET but it drives a shiny new car and took the IGBT's job
GaN HEMT: cool guy MOSFET. has a luscious moustache.
@gsuberland SiGe HBT: mysterious wizard. Lives in a cave at the top of a mountain and nobody knows how old he is. Every few years when the other BJTs have a problem they can't solve, one of them makes the climb to seek his advice.

@gsuberland Don't even ask the digital logic guy working on CPUs what kind of transistors they are using 😂 ... only the device magic guys really know. I mean, they're FETs of some kind but the geometries have gotten really weird to jam more things in there.

In response to this post@gsuberland I have even less clues how anything transistor-y works. Add A/C not only my caps but also my brain explodes.
I follow schematics as close as I can bcs I am electronics-disabled for anything besides resistors.
But they are complicated for different reasons
