Germans to Develop SiGeC Technology
-- Semiconductor International, 8/1/1999
Motorola has made an agreement with the German Institute of
Semiconductor Physics (IHP) for development of 0.18 µm wireless
telecommunication devices based on a novel silicon germanium carbide technology.
As part of this agreement, Motorola is to establish a technology center in
Frankfurt an der Oder, Germany, in order to work more closely with IHP. Abbas
Ourmazd, director of IHP, said: 'The addition of carbon to silicon germanium
significantly enhances device performance and reduces manufacturing costs.'
