Question
For germanium diode, the junction voltage is about _____.

Answer

  1. 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.
