A 0.6 μm Si Bipolar Technology with 17 ps CML Gate Delay and 30 GHz Static Frequency Divider

A CMOS compatible 0.6 micron silicon bipolar technology with 34 GHz cut-off frequency for mixed digital/analogue applications is presented. CML gate delay of 17 ps, static divider operation of up to 30 GHz and minimum noise figure of 0.8 dB at 2 GHz confirm the wide range of potential circuit applications.
