It is very easy to cut, however it would be difficult to cut into a desired shape.
When you cut silicon you score it slightly then press it against an edge.
However, it only breaks along the crystal lattice since silicon is usually available as a single crystal wafer.
This means that you can only make clean breaks in the material. It does not "cut", you can only break it into pieces.

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 cut in voltage of GE and SI diodes?
for germanium it is 0.3 and for silicon it is 0.7
What is the most familiar semiconductor?
silicon and germanium
Cut off of MBA college in pune?
Dear Friend it is difficult to provide cut off of all the MBA colleges in Pune.
What is Si transistor?
A silicon transistor is a transistor made of silicon.
How do you cut silicon carbide?
diamond
How many moles are present in 11gallons of silicon Si?
The conversion is impossible.It is difficult to use a dry gallon to measure silicon.
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)
Why cut in voltage of silicon is more than that of germanium?
the valence band energy is different in the two substances,so the cut in voltage is different.
Why is it difficult to cut with a blunt knife?
A blunt knife's edge is thicker but not sharp. Hence, it is difficult to cut with a blunt knife.
What's the most difficult vegetable to cut with a knife?
Personally I think that corn is one of the most difficult vegetables to cut. It is difficult to remove the kernels of corn without damaging them.
What is the cut in voltage of germanium and silicon diodes?
cut in voltage *** for silicon is 0.7volts and that for germanium is 0.3volts.According to Millman and Taub, "Pulse, Digital and Switching Waveforms", McGraw-Hill 1965, the cutin (or offset, break-point or threshold) voltage for a silicon diode is 0.6, and 0.2 for germanium.Breakdown voltage is another thing entirely. It is the reverse voltage at which the junction will break down.

Why Si is used than Ge in semiconductor diode?
silicon diodes Cut in voltage is 0.7 V.but the Germanium cut in voltage is 0.3 V that's why .............

How much was a loaf of bread in 1962?
very huge. very difficult to cut it and even more difficult to eat.
