Our current chip technology is largely based on silicon -- even though different materials such as silicon-germanium would have decisive advantages. The problem is that it is very hard to create clean ...
According to a research recently published in Nature Communications, threefold coordinated germanium was found in a GeO 2 melt for the first time, which may settle down the long-standing debate on the ...

(Nanowerk News) Our current chip technology is largely based on silicon. Only in very special components a small amount of germanium is added. But there are good reasons to use higher germanium ...
