Question

What is the approximate knee voltage for silicon?

Options

• \[0.3\,\mathrm{V}\]

• \[3\,\mathrm{V}\]

• \[2\,\mathrm{V}\]

• \[0.7\,\mathrm{V}\]

Answer 1

The knee voltage for silicon is about \[0.7\,\mathrm{V}\]. This is higher than the value of about \[0.3\,\mathrm{V}\] for germanium.
