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 $0.3 \ V$.

Current $I$ through a given $p-n$ junction when a voltage $V$ is applied across it is given by $I = I_0 \left( e^{\frac{V}{2 V_T}} - 1 \right)$, where $I_0$ and $V_T$ are constants. If $r_d(I)$ is the dynamic resistance of the junction, then $r_d(1000 I_0) = \alpha r_d(10 I_0)$, where $\alpha$ is approximately equal to
