Hello,
Being a hobbyist I always love analog electronics and the most attractive part to me is TO-92 transistors! Seller like eBay sells 100 pcs of them (not branded though) at less than USD 1. VERY cheap! I am curious on them always! I can see videos of manufacturing advanced CPUs in YouTube but never saw making small transistors, diodes etc. Do they still think some other manufacture may leak the ideas of making these so cheap parts? And they keep it secret?
