MCQ
For germanium diode, the junction voltage is about _____.
- A0.7V
- B0.3
- C0.6V
- D3V
✓
Answer
- 0.3
Explanation:
The junction voltage Vo for a germanium diode is 0.3 V at room temperature. This potential opposes the diffusion of electrons from n-side and holes from p-side. It is 0.7 eV for Si at room temperature.
