SiGe (Silicon-Germanium)

Silicon-Germanium (SiGe) is a semiconductor material made by combining silicon and germanium. It offers properties that improve performance in electronic devices compared to using silicon alone. SiGe is particularly useful in high-speed and low-power applications, such as radio frequency (RF) communication and integrated circuits. By adjusting the ratio of silicon to germanium, engineers can tailor the material's characteristics, making it valuable for advanced technologies like mobile devices, satellite communications, and sensors. Its ability to operate at higher frequencies helps to enhance the efficiency and speed of modern electronics.
