hi
can anyone tell me what is q factor in transistor and how i can use it practically?
thanks
 

When talking about discrete semiconductors and transistors there is known............

Q - point

The operating point of a device, also known as bias point, quiescent point, or Q-point, is the point on the output characteristics that shows the DC collector–emitter voltage (Vce) and the collector current (Ic) with no input signal applied. The term is normally used in connection with devices such as transistors.

πQ Quality factor [PiQ]

Predicting the failure rate in discrete semiconductor devices

The model shown here predicts the failure rate of low-frequency diodes. This model predicts the failure rate (λp) for
discrete semiconductor devices using the formula :
λp=λb×πT×πS×πC×πQ×πE / 10^6 hr

where :
λb=The basic failure rate
πT=Temperature factor
πS=Electrical stress factor
πC=Contact structure factor
πQ=Quality factor
πE=Environmental factor

Here are some transistor tutorials which cover the quiescent point or Q-point:

Hope the tutorials help in your understanding.
