Abstract :
A bipolar VLSI technology, for Oxide Isolated Logic (OXIL) circuits has been developed which combines high-frequency conventional down-transistors with inverted up-transistors which are fabricated in a common process on the same chip site. The up-transistor is especially designed to optimize I2L circuits for high packing density, speed, and performance. High-pressure-steam oxide isolation and an up-diffused active base are combined to fabricate the up-transistor with f_{t} > 500 MHz and \\beta = 100 , which allows I2L delays down to 3 ns at FO = 1 and 7 ns at FO = 6 . The down-transistor is an oxide-isolated implanted-base transistor with an As emitter. It exhibits gains of 100-150 at f_{t} = 2 GHz and supports subnanosecond CML, high-current buffer circuitry, and linear interfacing.
