Abstract
This paper provides a state of the art review of BICMOS processes. It explains why and how BICMOS technology is becoming strategic for some sectors in the near future. After a short presentation of market dynamics in key applications, a deep analysis of the evolution of BICMOS technology will be done. Emphasis is placed on trade offs between functionalities performances and complexity-cost. Then main applications covering the different sectors are highlighted showing the interest of BICMOS for numerous applications. Limitations inherent to technology and design are mentioned too.
