  • Abstract
    A novel BiCMOS gate array cell which has high CMOS compatibility is proposed. The BiCMOS gate is composed of a diode connected bipolar driver and a CMOS function unit fully compatible with the original CMOS gate which is converted to the BiCMOS gate. A BiCMOS device is merged with a TiSi2 Schottky barrier diode which controls the current flow in a bipolar driver during a switching transition. The proposed BiCMOS gate has circuit stability against the hot carrier effect of the bipolar transistor
