Project pioneers use of silicon-germanium for space electronics applications

Tuesday, November 30, 2010 - 17:04 in Physics & Chemistry

A five-year project led by the Georgia Institute of Technology has developed a novel approach to space electronics that could change how space vehicles and instruments are designed. The new capabilities are based on silicon-germanium (SiGe) technology, which can produce electronics that are highly resistant to both wide temperature variations and space radiation.
