  • Abstract
    A novel scheme for deep trench isolation is presented, which uses an airgap as insulator. When incorporated in our 0.13mum SiGe:C BiCMOS technology, the peripheral substrate parasitics decrease with an order of magnitude to a record value of 0.02fF/mum, which significantly improves the device RF performance
