smif Applications of SiGe alloy
• Increases the speed of bipolar transistors, allowing SiGe to move into 3-
GHz wireless, high-speed data communications and other traditional GaAs applications and in 20-GHz applications like optical fiber, DBS,
home-RF, WLAN and 'last mile' data connections.
• Because SiGe circuits can be fabricated on existing (slightly modified) process lines, they should cost little more than conventional bipolar.
• SiGe BiCMOS for telecommunication
• Strained Si and Ge in MOSFET
• For the compound market, the ratio of SiGe increase from 16% to 38% (From Solid State Technology, July 2002, p.52.)
