  • Question
  • Which one of the following is not a semiconductor?


  • Options
  • A. Silicon
  • B. Germanium
  • C. Quartz
  • D. Gallium arsenide

  • Correct Answer
  • Quartz 

    Explanation

    Semiconductors are the basic materials used in the present solid state electronic devices like diode, transistor, ICs, etc. 2. Lattice structure and the atomic structure of constituent elements decide whether a particular material will be insulator, metal or semiconductor. Semiconductors are elemental (Si, Ge) as well as compound (GaAs, CdS, etc.). Silicon, Germanium, Gallium Arsenide are semiconductors, but Quartz is an insulator.
