1.Bandgap is comparatively large hence suitable for low & high temp.

2.High melting point of si makes it stable over wide temp.

3.si is more freely available in nature.

4.leakage current less than ge.

Which of the two semiconductor material Si or Ge has larger conductivity at room temperature?

Ge has higher conductivity than Si. Because at room temperature the electron and hole mobility for Ge is larger than those of Si. Another explanation is the lower band gap of Ge than Si.

Which has higher leakage current-Si or Ge?

Ge


Why you use si more than ge as semi conductor?

Si can be fabricated into ICs inexpensively, Ge cannot.Si maximum junction operating temperature is 150C, Ge is only 70C.Si is as cheap and plentiful as sand, Ge is more expensive and rarer.etc.

Ge and Si are used in making semi-conductors Are these two elements in the same group or the same period?

Ge (Germanium) and Si (Silicon) are both from group 14 in the periodic table. They are in the same group but not in the same period. Ge is in period 4, while Si is in period 3.
