0.8 μm BiCMOS process with high resistivity substrate for L-band Si-MMIC applications

Abstract
This paper describes a BiCMOS process for L-band Si-MMIC applications. Low loss transmission line, high performance bipolar transistor (emitter minimum size /spl sim/0.5 /spl mu/m), 0.8 /spl mu/m CMOS, and Schottky diode are integrated on a high resistivity silicon substrate (HRS). Losses of two types of transmission lines, which are composed of multilevel metal layers, are investigated in both high and low resistivity substrates. A low noise amplifier (LNA) is fabricated on a conventional low resistivity silicon substrate.
