)silicon has got less leakage current
2)high threshold voltage (to avoid unwanted triggering of the device from noise)
3)more adhesive to aluminum

Why germanium semiconductor is used in hall effect experiment not silicon?
germanium low sensitivity
What has the highest index of refraction?
Diamond (2.33)is far from the highest. The highest are silicon and germanium. Silicon has a refractive index of 3.96 and germanium has the highest with 4.01.
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
What is the temperature of germanium diode compare to silicon diode?
97f
The Maximum spectral response of the germanium and silicon is in the?
Ultraviolent rays
Please Suggest equivalent transistor for AC 128.but it should not germanium transistor?
There are none. Germanium transistors are never equivalent to silicon.
What element makes up a transistor?
Silicon and Germanium are often seen in transistors.
Was Germanium used in transistors?
Yes, germanium was the only material used in transistors from when they were invented in 1947 until 1954 when the first successful silicon transistor was made. However the use of germanium still dominated transistors until the silicon mesa transistor was made commercially available by Fairchild Semiconductor in 1958. Development of the silicon planar transistor by Fairchild Semiconductor the next year ultimately made the integrated circuit possible. While almost all transistors today are silicon, there are still uses for germanium transistors so a few types are still made.
Transistors Basic material of?
silicon ang germanium there are two types of transistor \ 1. PNP 2. NPN silicon ang germanium there are two types of transistor \ 1. PNP 2. NPN
What semiconductor material is used to make transistors?
* silicon * germanium * gallium arsenide * etc.
What element is used in making transistors and chips?
Silicon and Germanium are the elements used in transistors
What kind of material is a transistor made from?
The class of materials that make up transistors is "semiconductor." A transistor is often made from very pure silicon that is doped with germanium or other dopant to change its electrical properties.
What element are in transistors?
Silicon and germanium are the elements used in transistors
What elements in in transistors?
Silicon and germanium are the elements used in transistors
What elements are used in transistors?
Silicon and germanium are the elements used in transistors
What element makes transistor?
A transistor is mainly composed of silicon and germanium
I am researching germanium and i would like to know what can you find it in?
You can find Germanium inside transistors. Note. Most transistors today are made from Silicon. In order to find a Germanium transistor you can read the type no. off the device, then look in a data book. Alternatively, if you have the equipment, measure Vcesat for the device. Silicon devices show about 1.2 V. When you find one at about 0.6 V you've got your Germanium.
