NEETPhysicsSemiconductors
Carbon, silicon and germanium have four valence electrons each. These are characterised by valence and conduction bands separated by energy band gap respectively equal to (E g ) C , (E g ) Si and (E g ) Ge . Which of the following statements is true?
Options
- A(E g ) Si g ) Ge g ) C
- B(E g ) C g ) Ge > (E g ) Si
- C(E g ) C > (E g ) Si > (E g ) Ge
- D(E g ) C = (E g ) Si = (E g ) Ge
Correct answer
C. (E g ) C > (E g ) Si > (E g ) Ge
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) (E g ) C > (E g ) Si > (E g ) Ge
