Question

silicon and germanium is also called semi conductor. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Germanium. ... Each has four valence electrons, but germanium will at a given temperature have more free electrons and a higher conductivity. Silicon is by far the more widely used semiconductor for electronics, partly because it can be used at much higher temperatures than germanium.
