Ge is more temp sensitive as its range is up to 70C whereas Si can withstand up to 140-180C temp. So Si has more stability at high temperature than Ge.
Also, due to less energy band gap than Si, Ge is more like a conductor and Si is more like a semiconductor.
Also, due to less energy band gap than Si, Ge is more like a conductor and Si is more like a semiconductor.

Because Ge is costly than Si & it is operated at high temperature.so most widely used semiconductor is Si.

Energy gap of Ge is higher than energy gap of Si.because of this one Si is the most widely used semiconductor.
