The leakage current in a silicon transistor is about_____________ the leakage current in a germanium transistor?
Correct answer: C. One thousandth
- A. One hundredth
- B. One tenth
- C. One thousandth
- D. One millionth
Explanation
Silicon has much lower minority-carrier leakage than germanium, commonly approximated as about one-thousandth under comparable conditions. This low leakage is one reason silicon transistors are preferred for stable circuits.
