One hundredth.<\/p>\n<p>Germanium transistors have a higher leakage current than silicon transistors. This is because germanium has a higher electron affinity than silicon.

The higher the electron affinity, the more likely it is that an electron will be able to escape from the atom. This means that germanium transistors are more likely to have leakage current than silicon transistors.<\/p>\n<p>The leakage current in a silicon transistor is about one hundredth the leakage current in a germanium transistor. This means that for every 100 electrons that leak from a silicon transistor, only 1 electron will leak from a germanium transistor.<\/p>\n<p>The leakage current of a transistor is an important factor to consider when designing circuits.
