Popis: A new base-after-gate integration scheme has been developed to integrate a 47 GHz f/sub t/, 65 GHz F/sub max/SiGe HBT process with a 0.24 /spl mu/m CMOS technology having 0.18 /spl mu/m L/sub eff/ and 5 nm gate oxide. We discuss the benefits and challenges of this integration scheme which decouples the HBT from the CMOS thermal cycles. We also describe the resulting 0.24 /spl mu/m SiGe BiCMOS technology, BiCMOS 6HP, which includes a 7 nm dual gate oxide option and full suite of passive components. The technology provides a high level of integration for mixed-signal RF applications.
