Rensselaer researchers are using advanced materials to create
a faster programmable chip that could set the standard for
future high-speed digital circuits. Russell Kraft (pictured
at right), senior project manager in the Center for Integrated
Electronics, and Jack McDonald, professor of electrical, computer,
and systems engineering, are using silicon germanium as the
basis for the next generation of field programmable gate arrays
(FPGA)--chips where the user can program the circuits for
specific needs. They have been working closely with IBM on
the project.
