Why is silicon a better semiconductor than germanium?
Silicon is a good semi conductor than germanium because silicon is more readily available, cheaper and stable.
What is the definition of semicondutor?
A semiconductor is a substance or material that conducts electricity better than an insulator but not as well as a conductor. Examples of semiconductors include silicon and germanium.
What element is the second best conductor of electricity?
Carbon nanotubes or graphene
Why germanium is better than silicon?
products made by silicon are more stable than those made by germanium
Why we don't we use iron as a semiconductor?
In a semiconductor like silicon or germanium, it's possible to control whether the material is a conductor or not. With iron, it's a conductor, and there's no way to control it.
Is gold a better conductor than germanium?
Yes. Pure gold is a much better conductor than pure germanium is.
Is germanium a conductor or a insulator?
conductor
Is germanium a conductor of electricity?
Germanium is a semiconductor.
Is germanium a conductor or an insulator?
neither, germanium is a semiconductor
Is germanium a good conductor of electricity?
Germanium is a good conductor because it is between silicon and tin, its a metalloid. Tin can conduct electricity and so can germanium
Is germanium a insulator?
No it is a conductor.
Why is silicon a better semiconductor than germanium?
Silicon is a good semi conductor than germanium because silicon is more readily available, cheaper and stable.
Is germanium a conductor of heat?
Germanium is a semiconductor, it means that electrons are relatively strongly attached to nuclei. As result its thermal properties change. Generally semiconductors have worse thermoconductivity than metals but better than insulators.
An element that is a non-metal but conductor of electricity?
Silicon or Germanium Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor
Is germanium a good heat Conductor?
Germanium is a semiconductor, it means that electrons are relatively strongly attached to nuclei. As result its thermal properties change. Generally semiconductors have worse thermoconductivity than metals but better than insulators.
Is germanium good conductor of heat?
Germanium is a semiconductor, it means that electrons are relatively strongly attached to nuclei. As result its thermal properties change. Generally semiconductors have worse thermoconductivity than metals but better than insulators.
What metal is a semi conductor?
No metal is semiconductor. By definition metal is conductor. There are metalloids elements. Like silicon and germanium. They are semiconductors. There is no hard and fast definition of such elements.
