Download or read book Properties of Silicon Germanium and SiGe:Carbon written by Erich Kasper and published by Inst of Engineering & Technology. This book was released on 2000 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The industrial relevance of SiGe has increased dramatically in the last few years with the manufacture of heterojunction bipolar circuits for the commercial wireless and datacomms markets by IBM and TEMIC. Major high technology companies see the development and use of SiGe as an important part of their strategy, so that there is a strong impetus to improve its characterization and exploitation. This liberally illustrated and fully indexed volume distills in a homogeneous, structured way the expertise of some 40 invited authors to comprehensively review the whole range of properties as well as SiGe; C, self-assembled nanostructures, quantum effects and device trends.
