Silicon germanium (SiGe) bicmostechnology, often simply called SiGe, is used for high-performance SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs, versus Si bipolar junction transistors) and high-quality passive devices on a CMOS platform (see Figure 1 [1]). This combination offers better performance at lower cost than CMOS and III-V technologies and is able to address most demanding analog and RF applications, while benefiting from the advantages of SiGe HBTs and CMOS for digital functions [2].

This article presents a compact high-linearity single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch built using a 0.13-mu mSiGe bicmostechnology for Ka-band 5G. The body-floating technique (BFT) based on the deep-n-well (DNW) transistor is used in the asymmetric structure to decrease substrate leak-age and improve the power-handling capability in TX mode. Advanced performances have been achieved from the RF switch point of view with 210 fs R(ON)x C-OFF. The proposed design achieved a minimum insertion loss (IL) of 0.53/1.33 dB including pad losses, isolation of more than 21/15 dB, and IP1dBof 20/8.5 dBm in TX/RX mode. The measured IIP3 is 34.3/28 dBmat 28 GHz. The active chip area is 0.046 mm(2). In contrast to the conventional structure with heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) or PIN diodes in SiGe process, the proposed SPDT exhibits good performances with a compact area for modern asymmetric front-end applications.

The Special Section of the ieee Journal of Solid-State circuits features expanded versions of selected articles presented at the 2022 bicmos and Compound Semiconductor Integrated circuits and technology Symposium (BCICTS) held in Phoenix, AZ, USA, on October 16–19, 2022. The first three invited papers demonstrate advances in indium phosphide (InP) heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) and SiGe bicmos clock generation circuits with the highest harmonics frequency 4 THz in silicon IC. Their techniques overcome the limitations of phase locked loop (PLL)-based circuits where output frequency is limited by the maximum oscillation frequency of a VCO. The fourth paper addresses best-in-class linearity along with power efficiency of a single-stage InP HBT power amplifier IC in 27 GHz–48 GHz frequency range employed by 5G wireless systems.

A transimpedance amplifier with a bandwidth of 94 GHz is presented and on chip measurements are discussed. The measured gain of the amplifier at low frequencies is 55 dBO, peaking to 61 dBO at 78 GHz. The circuit was designed in a cutting edge 55nm SiGe bicmostechnology, occupies a pad limited area of 0.02 mm2, and consumes 14 mA of current from a 3.3 V supply. The circuit achieves an average input referred current noise of 11 pA/v Hz, making it suitable for future high speed optical receivers.

This letter presents a broadband amplifier with gain variation of less than +/- 0.75 dB and small group delay variation over the frequency band from 165 to 220 GHz. Different from the commonly used multiband matching approach, in this work a common broadband amplification stage is focused for the flexibility and scalability. In the common stage, broadband matching is obtained by manipulating the inband admittance, Y, to traverse the real axis of the Y-Smith chart, and offsetting the susceptance over frequency with a resonant circuit incorporating a shorted stub and the parasitic collector capacitance. Gain flatness of cascaded stages is enhanced by introducing mismatch in the common stage. The gain of an entire amplifier can be further increased by cascading stages without other efforts such as interstage matching, obtaining similar inband performance of gain and group delay variation. A prototype implemented in 130-nm silicon-germanium (SiGe) bipolar complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (bicmos) cascades three stages to achieve a gain of 10 dB with low power consumption of 28 mW in measurements. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this amplifier achieves the smallest gain variation and group delay variation in G-band over a large bandwidth (BW).
