When a sample of germanium and silicon having same impurity density are kept at room temperature then resistivity of both?
Resistivity of silicon higher than that of germanium
What type of material is a transitor made from?
germanium or silicon crystal
What is extrinsic and intrinsic?
A semiconductor material with electrical properties essentially characteristic of ideal pure crystal. Essentially silicon or germanium crystal with no measurable impurities
What are semi conducting substances?
Those which have resistivity in between conductors and insulators are known as semi conductors. Germanium and Silicon are very good examples of semiconducting materials whose resistivity of the order of 10 -2 to 10 4 ohm meter.
What is intrinsic and extrinsic material?
A semiconductor material with electrical properties essentially characteristic of ideal pure crystal. Essentially silicon or germanium crystal with no measurable impurities
Where is germanium and silicon located in computer chips?
Germanium is not used in integrated circuits. Silicon is.
Can you give examples of elements that are metalloids?
The metalloids are Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium.
What element is used in making transistors and chips?
Silicon and Germanium are the elements used in transistors
What has more shells or rings germanium or silicon?
germanium
Is silicon a semiconductor?
Yes,silicon and germanium are semiconductors.
Why germanium is better than silicon?
products made by silicon are more stable than those made by germanium
Why leakage current of germanium is more than silicon?
Because the space charge region or depletion region is small in germanium compared to silicon hence leakage current is more in germanium than silicon
