There are many semiconductors available, but very few of them have practical applications in electronics. The two commonly used materials are Germanium (Ge) and Silicon (Si). In Ge and Si, the energy required to break the covalent bond (energy required to release an electron) is very small. For Ge, it is 0.7 eV and for Si, it is 1.1 eV.Depending on the silicon transistor versions, some Fuzz Faces are very rude and distorted and some are more on the smooth end of things. If you are wanting a more temperature stable version of a germanium Fuzz …
