Question

Why are silicon and germanium useful in the electronics industry.
please give explanation. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Silicon-germanium serves as a semiconductor in integrated circuits for heterojunction bipolar transistors or as a strain-inducing layer for CMOS transistors. ... SGOI boosts the speed of transistors by straining the crystal lattice under the MOS transistor gate, improving electron mobility and raising drive currents.
