(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 ...
Its melting temperature is 937.4 C. Germanium has the diamond cubic crystal structure shown, an fcc lattice with a basis of two germanium atoms, one at (0,0,0) and the other at (1/4, 1/4, 1/4) in ...
Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter of 0.543 nm. The nearest neighbor distance is 0.235 nm. The diamond cubic crystal structure has an fcc lattice with a basis of ...
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 ...
this was done by adding a bit of silicon germanium to the source and drain, and letting the material’s larger crystal ...
