"One hopes they will find a memory that can keep up with it, and not just small cache sectors, main memory."

I dunno if anyone has use SiGe for logic, usually it is used for low-power rf, like BlueTooth.

Having said that, I will point out that someone (Hans DeVries I believe) pointed out a patent for making SiGe transistors on a bulk silicon process. The patent holder is AMD...

Bill, re:<at 100 ghz a wavelength is .003 meters or 3 MM...>
(referring to IBM's 100 GHz transistors)

Interesting, my latest patent application is for a device that can measure time intervals to an RMS accuracy of 0.3 psec. That's how long it takes light to go 0.09 mm. But nothing in the circuit operates faster than 20 MHz.
