Step 1: Understand the role of base doping.
The base region of a transistor is lightly doped to allow maximum charge carriers to pass into the collector region.
Step 2: Effect of increased base doping.
When base doping is increased slightly, recombination of charge carriers in the base increases.
Step 3: Effect on collector current.
Due to increased recombination, fewer charge carriers reach the collector, hence collector current decreases slightly.
Step 4: Effect on base current.
Increased recombination requires more carriers to be supplied to the base, so base current increases slightly.
