We take the area of collecter wide comparision to base and emitter. Why?

Emitter, base and collector are the three terminals of a transistor. Emitter emits majority carriers and is highly doped. Collector collects these majority carriers after the majority carriers reach base. Base is lightly doped region. As the collector is reponsible to collect majority carriers injected from the emitter it should have sufficient power handling capacity. This emphasises the need for largest area of capacitor.
Also area and doping of the base should be lowest because most of the carriers it obtains from the emmiter should contribute towards conduction.

 if u think over that then we use collecter in reverse bias n emitter in forward bias.
in reverse bias minority carriers r responsible for conduction. if the area of collector is not more than emitter then there will b u uneven flow of current.
hence to manage the constant current in the ckt we use collector of larger area......

collector>emitter>base.
