Question
Which of the following is known as indirect band gap semiconductorsSelect one:a. Goldb. Carbonc.Germaniumd. Nickel
Solution
The answer is c. Germanium. Germanium is known as an indirect band gap semiconductor. This is because the maximum energy of the valence band and the minimum energy of the conduction band do not occur at the same momentum, resulting in an indirect band gap.
