  • Abstract
    This paper presents an overview of the millimeter-wave dedicated 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology used by STMicroelectronics as a starting point for DOTFIVE Project developments, and achievements during the first two years of the Project, which culminate in the demonstration of an intermediate 400 GHz fMAX SiGe HBT process, with good device control and reproducibility.
