The significant operational difference between a Si diode and a Ge diode is that Si diodes have a knee voltage of 0.7V needed to allow current flow and Ge diodes have an operational voltage of 0.3V to allow current flow.
0.6-0.7 V for Si at room temp. and 0.3 for Ge at room temp.

for germanium it is 0.3 and for silicon it is 0.7
Si can be fabricated into ICs inexpensively, Ge cannot.Si maximum junction operating temperature is 150C, Ge is only 70C.Si is as cheap and plentiful as sand, Ge is more expensive and rarer.etc.

silicon diodes Cut in voltage is 0.7 V.but the Germanium cut in voltage is 0.3 V that's why .............
Rd= Vt*c/I Vt=KT/q, K=Boltzmann constant C= constant 2 for si 1 for Ge I current through the diode
For Si it is 0.6or 0.7 and for Ge 0.3 or 0.2.Both values correct for both si and ge

Silicon (Si) diodes are more commonly used than germanium (Ge) diodes. Silicon diodes are preferred for most applications due to their higher temperature tolerance, lower leakage current, and greater availability. They are commonly used in rectifiers, signal processing, and various electronic circuits. Germanium diodes, while having some advantages in specific applications (such as lower forward voltage drop), are less common in modern electronics.
Ge has higher conductivity than Si. Because at room temperature the electron and hole mobility for Ge is larger than those of Si. Another explanation is the lower band gap of Ge than Si.
for germanium it is 0.3 and for silicon it is 0.7

Ge (Germanium) and Si (Silicon) are both from group 14 in the periodic table. They are in the same group but not in the same period. Ge is in period 4, while Si is in period 3.
SI is Sulphur and Iodine, Si is Silicon. Tehy are both different elements on the peridoic table
