Silicon diode starts conduct on 0.7v. That is the threshold voltage.

A germanium diode drop accross it 0.3v.
And a silicion diode drop 0.7V.
And a silicion diode drop 0.7V.

In semiconductor uses, such as diodes and transistors, the forward voltage drop for Silicon (Si) is a little less than 0.7 volts, while the FVD for Germanium (Ge) is about 0.3 volts.
