Popis: The authors present a 0.8 mu m BiCMOS technology for high-performance digital applications. The underlying optimization strategy to trade off both bipolar vs. CMOS speed and cutoff-frequency vs. collector-emitter breakdown voltage is described. Based on this approach 23.5 GHz cutoff frequency and 28 ps CML gate-delay times could be obtained for the bipolar device, making this technology perfectly suited for mixed CMOS/ECL (emitter-coupled logic) types of applications. This is additionally proved by high-speed benchmark circuits such as 2:1 frequency dividers operating up to 13.5 GHz. >
