The barrier voltage at a pn junction for germanium is about________________?

Correct answer: D. 0.3 V

  • A. 5 V
  • B. 3 V
  • C. Zero
  • D. 0.3 V

Explanation

The barrier voltage of a silicon junction is about 0.7 V, while germanium has the lower value of approximately 0.3 V. The other voltage values are not normal pn-junction barrier potentials.
