Abstract
RF CMOS performance from a 90nm derivative communications process technology is compared to SiGe BJT performance. NMOS performance at fT/fmax = 209/248 GHz (70nm) and fT/fmax = 166/277 GHz (80nm) with Fmin at 0.3 dB (2GHz) and 0.6 dB (10GHz) suggests there is no major reason to implement SiGe HBTs BiCMOS in an integrated communications process.
