transistor's

There's some dispute as to the transistor's actual invention: when, where, by whom.

In the next step (c), Hoerni exposed the wafer to a boron vapor, another standard process at Fairchild, to create the transistor's base.

Here the transistor's "gate" electrode that previously was made of a metal (usually aluminum) - the M in MOS - was replaced by a film of silicon that had several important advantages for device switching speed and packing density on the silicon wafer surface.

So when a voltage is applied to the metal plate that form's the transistor's gate, a tiny strip of semiconductor material between the source and the drain our magic wire changes from an insulator into a conductor, thereby turning the switch "on" and allowing current to flow from the source to the drain.

The transistor's substrate is sort of like a magic wire that can either conduct electricity or not, and the gate is the switch that controls whether the wire will conduct or not.

Too many atoms of the wrong sort, though, can be equally bad, interfering with a transistor's conductivity.

This is done to put the AC signal within the amplifying transistor's linear operating area.

Similarly, electrons flowing through a circuit in a transistor exploit input voltage energy to allow them to reduce the barrier for electrons to flow from the transistor's source to the transistor's drain.

The transistor's drain lets the extra electrons leave, but it traps the holes, resulting in a net positive charge.
