Abstract :
A tutorial review of high-performance BiCMOS technologies is presented, and a novel bipolar transistor structure is proposed or advanced future BiCMOS VLSIs. It is pointed out that high-performance BiCMOS technologies have led to fabrication of high-speed and high-packing-density VLSIs. Double polysilicon bipolar transistors significantly improve the characteristics of BiCMOS VLSIs. It is concluded that self-aligned n-p-n and p-n-p transistors and low-voltage-operated CMOS will be included in future high-performance BiCMOS VLSIs
