This paper provides a detailed description of the IBM SiGe BiCMOS and rf CMOS technologies. The technologies provide high-performance SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) combined with advanced CMOS technology and a variety of passive devices critical for realizing an integrated mixed-signal system-on-a-chip (SoC). The paper reviews the process development and integration methodology, presents the device characteristics, and shows how the development and
device selection were geared toward usage in mixed-signal IC development. |
