    1) Silicon is the most widely used semiconductor because it has properties that make it more stable at high temperatures than germanium. Silicon's valence electrons are closer to the nucleus, requiring less energy to escape than germanium's electrons. This makes silicon more stable. 2) Semiconductor physics is important to study as semiconductors determine the materials used in modern technology and their interactions with light, electricity, and other properties. Understanding semiconductor physics provides guidance for designing modern electronic circuits and devices.
