The EU’s efforts to rearm face a hidden vulnerability: a heavy reliance on critical raw materials. To reduce these ...

When the glass in the core of an optical fiber is replaced with a mixture of silicon and germanium and 'baked' at high temperature using a laser, the result is a single crystal fiber that has ...

We’ve covered the Tiny Tapeout project a few times on these pages, and while getting your digital IC design out there onto actual silicon for a low cost is super cool, it is still somewhat ...

For the first time, the researchers have demonstrated continuous-wave operation in an electrically pumped Group IV laser on silicon. Unlike previous germanium-tin lasers that relied on high-energy ...

Scientists have fabricated a new type of transistor from a germanium–tin alloy that has several advantages over conventional switching elements, making it a promising candidate for future low-power, ...

Silicon germanium (SiGe) is another essential technology that GF specializes in. Compared to conventional silicon, SiGe is good for making high frequency devices thanks to its higher electron ...

Silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) have come a long way. Only a few years ago, there was a lot of skepticism about the commercial viability of ...

The company will showcase its advanced Silicon Germanium and Silicon Photonics platforms, as well as recent technology developments providing cutting-edge solutions supporting the growing demands ...

China said on Monday it will impose export restrictions from Aug. 1 on some gallium and germanium products, metals used in computer chips and other products, to protect national security interests.
