A novel CMOS compatible lateral thyristor is proposed in this paper. Its thyristor conduction is fully controlled by a p-MOS gate. Loss of MOS control due to parasitic latch-up has been eliminated and triggering of the main thyristor at lower forward current achieved. The device operation has been verified by 2D numerical simulations and experimental fabrication.

Observed discrepancies between measured collector current and transconductance with that predicted by standard drift-diffusion theory at cryogenic temperatures are explained by accounting for nonequilibrium carrier transport across the neutral base region in advanced Si and SiGe bipolar devices.

A BiCMOS technology including 0.25 /spl mu/m electrical channel length (L/sub EFF/) nFET and pFET CMOS devices and 60 GHz f/sub max/ SiGe-HBT transistors has been achieved on 200 mm wafers. Both CMOS circuits and SiGe-HBT analog circuits were fabricated on the same chip to demonstrate the high integration capabilities of the technology. The CMOS circuits include CMOS ring oscillators and a 64 k SRAM with a 34 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ cell size. The SiGe-HBT circuits include ECL ring oscillators and a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). This is the highest level of integration yet achieved for any SiGe-base bipolar technology.

We report a wideband, low power consumption monolithic amplifier using SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors which, at 50 mW power consumption, provides 9.5 dB of gain from DC through 18 GHz, with 5.3 dB noise figure. 1.6 V operation is possible with slight bandwidth reduction to 15 GHz, and less than 20 mW power consumption.

Increased mixed-signal device performance and reliability in a BiCMOS technology is achieved by using Angle-Implanted Drain and Emitter (AIDE) technology. An order of magnitude increase in lifetime is obtained in MOS/BJT transistors, while a >40% increase in transistor gain is achieved. This technology module is applicable to existing BiCMOS process with minimum increase in process complexity.

In this paper, we propose an improved npn-HBT with pipi-doping collector structure maximally utilizing ballistic transport property with modified electric field distribution in the collector-base space charge region. With pipi-HBT, we obtained significant reduction of /spl tau//sub scr/ compared with those of previously reported conventional and ballistic collector structure HBTs.

Comparing several cross-talk reduction schemes using two-dimensional device simulation and measurements on silicon has shown that while SOI based processes provide high isolation from cross-talk, fully junction isolated wells can provide equal or better cross-talk immunity at a lesser expense. Simple guard ring substrate contacts appear to be the technique best suited for preventing cross-talk at high operating frequencies. A lumped parameter equivalent circuit has also been developed to simulate fully junction isolated wells in SPICE.
