Germanium cannot be used in any integrated circuit as its oxide is crumbly and water soluble (unlike silicon's oxide which is hard and stable). The only germanium integrated circuits ever made were very low density and the interconnects between components on the chip had to be done by hand under a microscope.
There has been work done on integrated circuits using a silicon germanium alloy wafer, but this has not produced any production chips yet that I am aware of. If this can be made to work, I see no reason why this material could not be used in VLSI designs and even higher density designs.

What is the latest research in vlsi signal processing?
Earlier, signal processing was mainly dealt with MATLAB and Simulink. DSP processors were used to process those signals. But now, VLSI platform such as FPGA and CPLD are used for the same purpose. Design and implementation of signal processing on FPGAs and CPLDs is the latest research in VLSI signal processing. Even in this domain, speech processing is mainly researched now.

Why vlsi becoming popular?
VLSI deals with fabrication of an IC (integrated circuit) or a chip. The design and fabrication of an IC is vital in prototyping any system. In order to implement any application, the basic requirement is an IC. Hence, VLSI which is used to fabricate bulk number of ICs is becoming popular.
What does the book CMOS VLSI Design teach?
The book CMOS VLSI Design teaches how to create computer generated images that are three dimensional. The book has many positive reviews each and every year.
