Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Silicon is used in the fabrication of LED.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

LEDs are fabricated using direct band gap semiconductors such as Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) or Gallium Phosphide (GaP) because they allow for efficient radiative recombination of electrons and holes. Silicon is an indirect band gap semiconductor, which makes it highly inefficient…
