What is the temperature of germanium diode compare to silicon diode?
97f
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
What parameter in a germanium diode differs from those in a silicon diode?
germenium diode contains majority electron as a charge carriers while the silicon diode contains holes as a majority charge cariers,
What are the Characteristics of a silicon diode?
our raight
A silicon avalanche photo diode is fabricated by what process?
A silicon avalanche photo diode is fabricated by the process called impact ionization.
What is the difference between a silicon diode and germanium 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 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.
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 difference of silicon diode and germanium diode?
A silicon diode has a voltage drop of approximately 0.7V, while a germanium diode has a voltage drop of approximately 0.3V. Though germanium diodes are better in the area of forward voltage drop, silicon diodes are cheaper to produce and have higher breakdown voltages and current capabilities.
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
