What else can I help you with?
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.
The modern name for eka-silicon?
germanium
Why germanium is better than silicon?
products made by silicon are more stable than those made by germanium
What is difference between silicon and germanium according to atomic structure?
Silicon has 14 electrons and germanium has 32 electrons in their atomic structure. Germanium has a larger atomic size and mass compared to silicon. Both elements have a similar crystal structure and are used in semiconductor devices for their electrical properties.
How copper structure is different from germanium and silicon?
Copper is a metal and does not exhibit semiconducting properties like germanium and silicon. Germanium and silicon are semiconductors with a crystalline structure that allows for controlled conduction of electricity. This difference in atomic structure is what gives rise to their unique electrical properties.
Where is germanium and silicon located in computer chips?
Germanium is not used in integrated circuits. Silicon is.
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
What has more shells or rings germanium or silicon?
germanium
The modern name for eka-silicon?
germanium
Is silicon a semiconductor?
Yes,silicon and germanium are semiconductors.
Can you give examples of elements that are metalloids?
The metalloids are Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium.
What is the most familiar semiconductor?
silicon and germanium
What are pure semiconductors?
silicon and germanium
Can you explain why silicon and germanium are used in the manufacturing of semiconductors?
silicon is less sensitive towards temperature.It costs low compared to germanium,
What are examples of semiconductors?
Germenium and silicon are the examples of Semiconductors.
Why germanium is better than silicon?
products made by silicon are more stable than those made by germanium
