What is threshold voltage? Write the value of threshold voltage for $Ge$ and $Si$.
(N/A) Threshold voltage,also known as cut-in voltage or knee voltage,is the minimum forward bias voltage required across a $P-N$ junction diode to start significant conduction of current through it.
For Germanium $(Ge)$,the threshold voltage is approximately $0.3 \ V$.
For Silicon $(Si)$,the threshold voltage is approximately $0.7 \ V$.
For Germanium $(Ge)$,the threshold voltage is approximately $0.3 \ V$.
