Emitter widths of 0.3 /spl mu/m on double-polysilicon bipolar transistors are achieved using 0.8-/spl mu/m photolithography and a double-spacer process. The emitter width reduction is confirmed with structural and electrical measurements. The double-spacer device exhibits superior low current f/sub T/ and f/sub max/.

A low-power, high-speed BiCMOS op amp is described. It uses a wideband, composite PMOS-vertical-NPN structure as a substitute for vertical-PNP transistors to realize a Class-AB input stage with very high small and large signal transconductances and op amp slew-rate.

A soft-error-immune 0.9-ns 1.15-Mb ECL-CMOS SRAM with 30-ps 120 k logic gates has been developed. To provide good testability, reliability, and stability, on-chip test circuitry, a memory-cell test technique, a highly stable current source, and a soft-error-immune memory cell are proposed.

A high-speed IGBT fabricated using silicon direct wafer bonding is demonstrated. By controlling the heavily-doped n/sup +/ buffer layer in the device, an on-state voltage drop of 1.4 V at current density of 100 A/cm/sup 2/ and a turn-off fall time less than 100 nanoseconds are achieved.

A self-aligned SiGe base bipolar technology and its application to optical communication ICs are presented. Using cold wall ultra-high vacuum (UHV)/CVD technology, a self-aligned selective SiGe/Si epitaxial growth can be realized for the overhanging structure of the base electrode polysilicon. This is a novel self-aligned bipolar transistor, which we call a super self-aligned selectively grown SiGe base (SSSB) bipolar transistor. The maximum cut-off frequency f/sub T/ of 60 GHz and the maximum frequency of operation f/sub max/ of 50 GHz have been obtained. This technology has been applied to optical communication ICs. A receiver and a transmitter ICs fabricated on a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate stably operate at up to 20 Gb/s.

This paper reports the 2.4 Gb/s optical terminal IC integrating high-speed analog and digital circuits for future optical networks. The IC consists of a receiver (a preamplifier, an automatic gain control (AGC) amplifier, a phase-locked-loop (PLL), a D-F/F), and a 1:16 demultiplexer (DMUX). An input offset control circuit is included in the AGC amplifier for wide dynamic range. The trench isolation and SOI technologies are introduced to reduce the crosstalk effect between the amplifiers and the PLL.
