What parameter in a germanium diode differs from those in a silicon diode?
A germanium diode has a lower forward voltage drop compared to a silicon diode, typically around 0.3V for germanium and 0.7V for silicon. Germanium diodes also have a higher reverse current leakage compared to silicon diodes.
What are the Characteristics of a silicon diode?
our raight
What is the definition of silicon diode?
A silicon diode is a tiny electronic component having two terminals, usually a switch or limiting device.
What is a photodiac?
a bidirectional light-sensitive avalanche diode
What will be the result if silicon diode is replaced by the germinium diode?
The built is voltage would be lower than silicon diode,more leakage or reverse saturation current,poor thermal stability,high noise and greater conduction in comparison to silicon diodes.
What are two types of diode?
Light Emitting Diode (LED) & the Avalanche Diode. These are two types of diodes ,but there are more
Is 1N4007 OA79 silicon or germanium diode?
The entire 1N40xx series of power diodes are all silicon. The OA79 small signal diode is germanium.
What is the cutting voltage of a silicon diode?
It is not 'Cutting voltage' but it is Cut-in voltage'. It is the voltage at which the diode turns ON. For silicon it is 0.7v. After reaching 0.7V diode current starts increasing rapidly for little increase in voltage.
What is the difference between a germanium diode and a silicon diode?
the cut in vol for silicon diode is 0.7 where as germaium is around 0.3 because of their construction( the ratio of majority n minority carreirs)
What is material made of a zener diode?
SILICON same as any other diode but with different characteristics
What are the types of breakdown region in diode?
zener breakdown and avalanche breakdown.
How much voltage is there across a silicon diode when it is forward biased?
0.7 The voltage across a silicon diode when it is forward biased should be greater than or equal (>=) 0.7volts.
