The most commonly used semiconductor in the manufacture of a transistor is_____________?
Correct answer: B. silicon
- A. germanium
- B. silicon
- C. carbon
- D. none of the above
Explanation
Silicon is the most widely used transistor semiconductor because it is abundant, thermally stable, and has a smaller leakage current than germanium. Germanium is used only in some specialised applications.
