            Abstract : 
A cell-based design concept for higher integrated SiGe-bipolar circuits at 100 Gb/s is presented and discussed with regard to performance limitations. The results of two cell-based designs are demonstrated by a 100 Gb/s 2:1 multiplexer IC and a 100 Gb/s 1:2 demultiplexer IC with on-chip clock-and data-recovery.
