ISRO Electronics & Communication (ECE) 2023 - Question 46

All ISRO Electronics & Communication (ECE) papers | ISRO Electronics & Communication (ECE) 2023

Topic: Electronic Devices

Compared to Silicon, GaAs Semi-conductors offer advantage of

  • A. Higher Electron Mobility
  • B. Higher frequency operation
  • C. Lower leakage current
  • D. All of the above

Answer: D. All of the above

Explanation: Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) has significantly higher electron mobility compared to Silicon, allowing for faster and higher frequency operation. Additionally, GaAs has a wider bandgap than Silicon, which results in lower intrinsic carrier concentration and therefore lower leakage current, especially at high temperatures.
