Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor Saturday‚ December 15‚ 2007 History of SiGe Technology (1/2) The concept of combining silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) into an alloy for use in transistor engineering is an old one‚ and was probably envisioned by Shockley in 1950. However‚ because of difficulties in growing lattice-matched SiGe alloy on Si‚ this concept is reduced to practical reality only in the last 20 years. In 1957‚ Kroemer patented the first heterojunction Si bipolar transistor(Si HBT).

Today’s world is overrun by computers from the small to the big. These include the desktop that is in many homes to the cell phones in your pocket. Even things like your car‚ dishwasher‚ dvd player‚ and even TVs include some form of computers. All this would not be possible without the invention of the integrated circuit or IC. This led to the creation of the Microprocessor or CPU (central processing unit) which acts as the brain of the computer. To better help illustrate the function and need for
