What is the Difference between Si and Ge diodes?

The significant operational difference between a Si diode and a Ge diode is that Si diodes have a knee voltage of 0.7V needed to allow current flow and Ge diodes have an operational voltage of 0.3V to allow current flow.


Mention cut-in-voltage for Si and Ge diode?

0.6-0.7 V for Si at room temp. and 0.3 for Ge at room temp.


What is more referred to use si diode or a ge diode?

silicon diode is preferred more when compared with germanium diode because in silicon diode the operating voltage is 0.7v where as in germanium diode the operating voltage is 0.3v , germanium is temperature sensitive so it can be easily destroyed by increasing temperature hence silicon diode is preferred more

Mg. I is a non-metal and Si and Ge are metalloids.


Which of the two semiconductor material Si or Ge has larger conductivity at room temperature?

Ge has higher conductivity than Si. Because at room temperature the electron and hole mobility for Ge is larger than those of Si. Another explanation is the lower band gap of Ge than Si.
