Abstract :
This paper presents the different aspects of the design in silicon from the applications to the implementations in silicon technologies. The mmW technology features of advanced CMOS and BiCMOS will be discussed and their potentialities for different mmW applications will be presented. A comparison of the different design techniques in such technologies will be exposed before conclusions which summarize the advantages and drawbacks of using silicon technologies.
