Why is germanium important?
Germanium has many important uses that relate to science, medicine or even every day life. It is one of the largest used conductors used in transistors.
What is the family name and characteristic of germanium?
Germanium belongs to Carbon family it is a semi metals and mainly used to prepare semi-conductors.
Why germanium is less used than silicon?
Germanium is costly, less abundant and there aren't as many feasible processes for it as compared to Si for fabrication.
Why germanium is not used as LED material?
LEDs are made from binary semiconductors (e.g. gallium aluminum indium phosphide) not unary semiconductors (e.g. silicon, germanium) because they can be made transparent to light. Silicon & germanium are opaque.
Why silicon has low leakage of current as compared to germanium?
Each has four valence electrons, but germanium will at a given temperature have more free electrons and a higher conductivity. Silicon is by far the more widely used semiconductor for electronics, partly because it can be used at much higher temperatures than germanium.
What element is used in making transistors and chips?
Silicon and Germanium are the elements used in transistors
Where is germanium and silicon located in computer chips?
Germanium is not used in integrated circuits. Silicon is.
Why germanium semiconductor is used in hall effect experiment not silicon?
germanium low sensitivity
What is germanium used for?
It is used in transistors and other electronic devices.
When was germanium last used?
Today as you read this.
Is silicon and germanium used as alloys?
yes
What elements are used in transistors?
Silicon and germanium are the elements used in transistors
What is a poem of germanium?
Germanium is a chemical element, not a poem. It is a metalloid commonly used in transistors and semiconductors due to its electrical properties.
Is the organic germanium Sesquioxide Ge-132 the same that's used in diodes?
No, ultrapure elemental germanium (with very tiny amounts of dopant impurities added) is used in electronics devices. Never germanium compounds, organic or inorganic. However the germanium in the compound is the same element, but could not be used in electronic devices unless separated and purified (which destroys the compound).
Is silicon and germanium used in electronics as semiconductors?
Yes
Why is germanium important?
