But they have a rich history, going back through the silicon era to germanium junction transistors, and thence to the original devices. if you’ve ever looked at the symbol for a transistor and ...

(SiGe) A semiconductor material made from silicon and germanium. Germanium is very similar to silicon, but when one layer is grown on top of the other to form the base of the transistor ...

Since the 1960s, one constant in this ongoing pursuit of elusive subatomic knowledge has been the chemical element germanium. Situated in the carbon column of the periodic table between silicon ...

has developed new silicon photonics and BiCMOS silicon-germanium processes in collaboration with key customer and data center giant Amazon Web Services (AWS). Those new processes are intended to ...

Many people giving talks had complained about the current germanium transistors -- they had a bad habit of not working at high temperatures. Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the ...

Since the 1960s, one constant in this ongoing pursuit of elusive subatomic knowledge has been the chemical element germanium. Situated in the carbon column of the periodic table between silicon ...

A technique that deposits silicon (Si) on top of silicon germanium (SiGe) for making transistors on a chip. In so doing, the silicon atoms are stretched ("strained") to line up with the silicon ...

It was the first company to make transistors out of silicon and not germanium. The company was founded in Mountain View, California — so Shockley could be closer to his sick mother. Shockley's ...

runs not in bog standard Silicon CMOS but Silicon-Germanium bipolar technology. And this is accessible to you and me, of course, provided you have the skills to design in this high-speed analog ...
