At T = 300 K, for a forward diode current of 1 mA, a Germanium diode requires a forward bias of 0.1435 V, whereas a Silicon diode requires a forward bias of 0.718 V. Under these conditions, assuming the ideality factor η = 1 for Germanium and η = 2 for Silicon, what is the closest approximation of the ratio of the reverse saturation current of the Germanium diode to that of the Silicon diode?
