A 0.13 mu m SiGe bicmostechnology for millimeter-wave applications is presented. This technology features high-speed HBTs with peak transit frequencies f(T) of 240 GHz, maximum oscillation frequencies f(max) of 330 GHz, and breakdown voltages BVCEO of 1.7 V along with high-voltage HBTs (f(T) = 50 GHz, f(max) = 130 GHz, BVCEO = 3.7 V) integrated in a dual gate oxide RF-CMOS process. Ring oscillator gate delays of 2.9 ps, low-noise amplifiers for 122 GHz, and LC oscillators with fundamental-mode oscillation frequencies above 200 GHz are demonstrated.

in this paper, we discuss a method to extrapolate intrinsic and extrinsic R-on components for a JFET. The results provide the guideline to lower R-on, hence to achieve competitive "R-on vs. pinch off (V-off)" benchmark. The optimization impacts on channel length scaling and process variation are discussed. Besides, an improved RESURF condition is achieved using one of the experimental conditions. The optimized JFET demonstrates the 50% lowered R-on, low V-off of -2.75V, and high BVdss of 11 V.

This paper presents a fully differential low-power 60 GHz Front-End, which comprises a variable gain differential LNA and a low-power Gilbert mixer. The differential LNA features a current folded architecture to save power. Its gain can be tuned from zero to 17.3 dB. It is 15.3 dB for fully differential operation at 10 mW DC power. The measured 3 dB bandwidth extends from 57 to 64 GHz. Both input and output return losses are measured to be below -10 dB in the same frequency range. The mixer core is a Gilbert cell, which draws 1.44 mA from 3.3 V DC supply. Its voltage conversion gain is optimized to be 10 dB. This front-end is best suited for 60 GHz beam steering system where multiple front-ends are required.

This paper presents a transformer-coupled varactorless quadrature current-controlled oscillator (QCCO) RFIC covering the entire X-Band from 8.7 GHz to 13.8 GHz. The QCCO incorporates a transformer-coupled technique that achieves frequency tuning by varying the bias currents in the primary and secondary windings. Fabricated in a 0.18 mu m SiGe bicmostechnology, the prototype QCCO achieves a 45.3% wide tuning range. With two stacked octagonal transformers the QCCO core circuit occupies 0.4x0.5 mm(2) chip area and draws 8-18 mA current under a 1.8 V power supply. The measured phase noise for 11.02 GHz quadrature outputs is about -110 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz offset. The QCCO achieves a phase noise, power and area efficiency figure-of-merit of -191 dBc/Hz.

This paper details a new 14V Complementary bicmos (Cbicmos) addition to the TowerJazz SBC35 family of bicmos technologies. The SBC35 family previously supported BV ceo values up to 6V. The bipolar architecture is nearly identical with that used in the lower voltage technologies, leveraging 10 years of manufacturing history. The complementary bipolar transistors are paired with 5V CMOS currently available in our SBC35 family. This technology offers high RF performance 14V NPN transistors and PNP transistors with low process complexity. The paper describes a simplified process flow, results of optimization, and a demonstration of the key device performance metrics.

This paper reviews 850nm Si photodetectors and integrated photoreceivers realized with standard Si process technologies including CMOS and bicmos. Such photodetectors and photoreceivers are of great interest as they can provide cost-effective optical interconnect receiver solutions. High-speed integrated photoreceivers can be achieved by spatially modulated light, lateral PIN, and P + /N-well junction photodetectors and their performances can be further enhanced with electronic equalizers, all of which can be realized with the standard Si technology.
