Abstract
An overview of Infineon´s Silicon-Germanium millimeter wave technology will be given. The current production process B7HF200 will be briefly described and recent performance enhancements achieved in the European research project DOTFIVE presented. Examples of successful commercial SiGe mmwave products will be given. Driven by the requirements of automotive radar applications in the 76-81 GHz range, directions and challenges of future process developments will be outlined.
