More info on Silicon Germanium....The Electronic News carried an article about IBM Micro's new emphasis on IC's for communication applications (November 24, 1997). It stated that silicon germanium is a top priority for IBM in 1998 and they already have orders from Nortel and Hughes Electronics. Nortel will use them in place of Gallium arsenide in the RF portion of a cellular telephone. The article also stated that IBM found it could make silicon germanium devices on the same production lines as silicon ICs. I think this reflects Gilder's point that silicon germanium is cheaper than gallium arsenide. Does anybody know where Analog Devices is compared to IBM in producing Silicon Germanium ICs????? Thanks in advance
