Is germanium n type semiconductor?
Pure germanium is neither n or p. When doped with impurities it can be either.
Is germanium a conductor of electricity?
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
Why germanium semiconductor is used in hall effect experiment not silicon?
germanium low sensitivity
How Many subatomic particles does germanium have?
Germanium has 32 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a germanium isotope = Mass number - 32
Is germanium n type semiconductor?
Pure germanium is neither n or p. When doped with impurities it can be either.
Can IInd group elements be used with silicon to make P- type semiconductor?
germanium
Why silicon is the more semiconductor than germanium?
Silicon is more semiconductor than Germanium because the characteristics of silicon can be easily modified to obtain either a p-type or n-type material.
Why silicon crystal are suitable for making a diode and have a junction of P-type and N-type material?
you can find silicon and germanium materials has 4 valence electrons. This makes them to be useful to make p type and n type materials easily.They are very cheap compare to others.
What type of element is germanium?
Germanium is a solid at room temperature and is a nonmetal and the call name is (Ge)
What elements are used as impurities for doping germanium and silicon?
Any Pentavalent or Trivalent atom can be added to Silicon to create an "N" type or "P" type Material respectively. Which is used to create a PN Junction. Examples of Pentavalent atoms would be arsenic, antimony, and phosphorus, these Pentavalent atoms would be used to create an "N" Type material. Examples of Trivalent atoms are aluminum, boron, and gallium. Trivalent atom would be used to create "P" type material. I don't know why you would dope germanium, unless your talking about very old technology. Germanium use has slowed to a crawl since the discovery of intrinsic (pure) silicon.
What type of bond occurs in germanium oxide?
ionic
Why we can't use silicon and germanium in laser diode?
becoz Si and Ge are indirect bandgap semiconductors. for lasing action direct bandgap semiconductors are required of the type In Ga As P
What type of material is a transitor made from?
germanium or silicon crystal
What is a type of flower that sounds like an element?
Germanium
What type of bond is present in germanium?
Germanium atoms are hold together through covalent bonds, although they have more metallic character than carbon and silicon.
What country was the element with 32 electrons found in?
Germanium is the element with 32 electrons. It was found in Germany. It is in the p block.
