the leakage current of silicon is less when compared with the leakage current of germanium.. hence scr's are made up of silicon than germanium.. hope tis one is useful to u all!- Vignesh.L(engineer, 1st year)

Why Silicon is used widely as a semiconducting material?

AnswerSilicon is abundant in nature as SiO2(sand).Getting the Si from SiO2 is comparatively easier than other semiconductors like Ge.And Silicon is a better conductor at room temperature.valence electron in germanium are in fourth shell whereas on silicon valence electron is in third shell.germanium valence electron are at higher energy level than silicon .hence germanium valence electron will need smaller amount of energy to escape form the atom due to this germanium more number of electron pair than silicon . hence leakage current is more.this property makes germanium more unstable at high temperature.


Does halides contain silicon?

Yes, halides can contain silicon. Silicon can form halides by combining with elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine to create silicon halides. Examples of silicon halides include silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4) and silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4).

What causes wiring to overheat from rectifier on 1982 Suzuki replaced rectifier did not help?

back in 1980s a suzuki tsb states to cut multi-conector from stator lead wiring,remove black covering from 3 wires,install 3 single wire connectors,object is to allow cooling of wiring, dont bundle wires, allow airspace around rectifier,wiring,to cool
