Compare the characteristics of a silicon and germanium diode?

Potential barrier of silicon is 0.7, whereas potential barrier of germanium is 0.3


Will a zener diode work the same as a germanium diode?

No. An ordinary diode, be it silicon or germanium, conducts in one direction only, whereas a zener diode conducts in both directions, but at different voltages. An ordinary diode is used to rectify, using its forward bias characteristics, while a zener diode is used to regulate, using its reverse bias characteristics.


What parameter in a germanium diode differs from those in a silicon diode?

A germanium diode has a lower forward voltage drop compared to a silicon diode, typically around 0.3V for germanium and 0.7V for silicon. Germanium diodes also have a higher reverse current leakage compared to silicon diodes.

Is 1N4007 OA79 silicon or germanium diode?

The entire 1N40xx series of power diodes are all silicon. The OA79 small signal diode is germanium.


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 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)
