Silicon meterial has 0.7v barrier potential.
Sudhp said:   1 decade ago
The barrier potential for silicon is 0.7v and for germanium is 0.3v.

How can we say that diode will be forward biased?
HARINATH said:   1 decade ago
IF P type semiconductor is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and N type semiconductor is connected to the negative terminal of the battery then this condition is said to be in forward bias condition.
Darshan said:   1 decade ago
The voltage across the diode remains constant irrespective of the source voltage.
PATHAN SHOAIB said:   10 years ago
Silicon diode barrier potential is 0.7.
Abhi said:   9 years ago
Silicon diode cut-in voltage will be 0.7v and it is said to be knee voltage when it starts operating.
