(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 ...

Scientists have developed organic semiconductors that produce circularly polarized light and potentially improve current ...

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 ...

For decades, people have been trying to directly detect dark matter: the missing mass in our universe. Now, there's a new, ...

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 ...

Since the 1960s, one constant in this ongoing pursuit of elusive subatomic knowledge has been the chemical element germanium.

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 ...

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 ...

Mario Paniccia, Intel fellow and director of Intel's Photonics Technology Lab, talks to Nature Photonics about the company's progress in commercializing high-speed silicon photonics. We have been ...

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 ...
