INTRODUCTION The last decade has seen a massive device research effort in Si and SiGe NPN bipolar transistors. The fate of Si technology had already been prematurely declared a few years ago when it was estimated that conventional Si NPN devices would never see their cut-off frequencies go beyond the 5-10 GHz range. Surprisingly, the early to mid 90’s has seen an explosion in Si NPN bipolar dev...

The use of technology to offer goods and services by governments to citizens has been a growing phenomenon in the last decade. Many projects have been recorded across nations in an effort to encourage the adoption and diffusion of e-government. However, these studies have been rather isolated project reports than a comprehensive global picture. This study examines the e-government diffusion acr...
