Abstract

Review: The use of Si1–xGex in microelectronics production is appealing not only because it is compatible with existing industrial technology used for the production of silicon‐based microelectronics, but also because the induced strain caused by insertion of a layer of Si1–xGex(see Figure) can significantly improve their performance. The production and properties of these new materials are reviewed.
