Using CPU heat to generate electricity
EDIT for clarification: I do not want CPUs to work at 1000 °C. I''ll list my reasoning steps (not necessarily correct), which were roughly: CPU clock speed is limited by working temperature

What is the standard procedure for analogue IC tapeout?
One generality that matters a lot to analog ICs: compared to discrete components their components are far less accurate, but far more precisely matched. This means that a lot of

But to my thinking, germanium and gallium are present in only milligram quantities in consumer electronics for example, maybe a small, RF strained silicon or SiGe CMOS chip here or a
How do I get a bigger sheet size in Altium, updating current one?
I have a schematic sheet and I need more free space on it. The actual size is A4. I have right-clicked in the sheet, went to Preferences and changed the Sheet Size from A4 to A3 but that
Why are microprocessors made using silicon and not germanium?
I heard that microprocessors are usually made using silicon, yet germanium has a better conductive state. Why isn''t germanium not chosen instead, taking to account that better conductors

I am working on a door lock system using the AT89C51 (8051 microcontroller) in Proteus simulation. The project includes a 4x4 keypad and an LCD display. The main issue I am facing is that
Why don''t we use GaN transistors everywhere?
Compare it to SiGe (Silicon Germanium) which has been available for many years. It has faster (bipolar) transistors. Is it used everywhere? No, because few ICs use bipolar transistors. 99%
semiconductors
SiGe is a semiconductor alloy, meaning a mixture of two elements, silicon and germanium. Since 2000 or so, SiGe has become widely used to enhance the performance of ICs of

Are SiGe NPN transistors used to build digital gates? Yes. This is done either for very simple, small logic, when you might need a few hundred control gates in a power amplifier or similar
