Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust and imparts impressive potential both in the field of semiconductor industry [[55], [56]] and TE applications [11] because of its low cost, excellent mechanical and chemical stability, non-toxicity and high industrial compatibility.However, in transistor technology, the wide …
Crystal structure. Silicon and germanium, which both crystallize in the diamond lattice, are completely miscible, forming Si 1–x Ge x solid solutions with x ranging from 0 to 1. The space lattice of diamond consists of two face-centred-cubic (fcc) lattices which are displaced a quarter of the space diagonal.
Organic germanium is known to possess various biological and pharmacological activities, and is often used in medicine for purposes such as anti-tumor, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, immune regulation, production of hypoglycemic lipids, scavenging free radicals, and stimulating the hematopoietic system [ 15 ].
Silicon vs germanium in IGBT's. Follow the money: Which has a lower cost of goods sold - silicon. Silicon wins. Mechanically: Which has a greater Strong's modulus of plasticity - silicon. Mechanically: Which has a greater Strong's modulus of elasticity - silicon. That is be enough for me to say that silicon is a better choice.
The reasons for using Silicon Diodes over Germanium Diodes this are: At room temperature, Silicon crystal has fewer free electrons than Germanium crystal. This implies that silicon will have …
Transistors have diodes made of either silicon or germanium. Both silicon and germanium are both on the Periodic Table of Elements, in the same group (14). They're both metalloid materials (containing metal and non-metal materials, like any well-rounded musician ;) and both have atomic numbers (14 and 32 respectively). …
Although many silicon and germanium clusters were isolated, the reactions starting from them are very limited. There are several reasons: 1. With bulky steric protecting groups, reactivity of the starting compound is low. 2. Even if some reactions occurred, the stability of the products is often insufficient for separation and isolation. 3.
In semiconductors, the process of doping involves adding a small amount of impurities to the material to modify its properties. This can create an excess of free electrons (n-type semiconductor) or a deficiency of electrons, known as 'holes' (p-type semiconductor). Creating n-type and p-type semiconductors and bringing them together …

Future CMOS technology nodes bring new challenges to formation of source/drain junctions and their contacts. To avoid MOSFET performance degradation with scaling, series resistance contribution of each junction must be limited to five percent of the device channel resistance. This requires ultra-shallow junctions with extremely low sheet, …
Germanium as a Semiconductor Material. Moreover, germanium's intrinsic attributes enable diffusion – a process where atoms navigate from areas teeming with concentration to zones sparsely populated within the semiconductor. The mystery deepens when dopant materials are integrated into the matrix of germanium semiconductors.
silicon–germanium or the silicon during growth, which also gives improved physical properties such as higher values of mobility. This chapter reviews the properties of silicon–germanium, be-ginning with the electronic properties and then progressing to the optical properties. The growth of silicon–germanium is considered, with partic-
The main difference between germanium and silicon transistors in switching circuits, be they either PNP or NPN transistors is that VBE for small germanium is about 0.3 volts whilst those of silicon are about 0.7 volts. Also germanium are more sensitive to heat than silicon and can end up in thermal runaway and destroy …
Colleagues from the Jülich working group of Dr. Dan Buca have already developed a germanium-tin laser in the past that opens up the possibility to transmit data optically directly on a silicon chip. The germanium-tin transistor, along these lasers, provides a promising solution for the monolithic integration of nanoelectronics and …
The silicon-germanium electronics developed by the extreme environments team has been shown to function reliably throughout that entire plus-120 to minus-180 Celsius range. It is also highly resistant or immune to various types of radiation. The conventional approach to protecting space electronics, developed in the 1960s, involves …

The decoherence and dephasing rate of charge qubits in systems based on double and triple SiGe quantum dots are studied. At the short time limit, electron–phonon interaction causes an incomplete decay of the off-diagonal density matrix elements. Long-time relaxation decay dominates over dephasing at large times. The triple quantum dot …
