Abstract

For the first time, we report a 0.24 mum SiGe BiCMOS technology that offers full suite of active device including three distinct NPNs, a vertical PNP, CMOS supporting three different operating-voltages, and wide range of passive devices. In particular, this technology provides 6.5 V CMOS capability and VPNP with f_T/f_MAX of 15/14 GHz and BV_CEO of 6.5 V which can be used to complement high breakdown NPN with f_T of 30 GHz and BVceo of 6.0 V.
