Abstract :
A high performance 0.4μm BiCMOS technology has been developed for fast 16Mb SRAMs. This technology includes a newly developed WIPEC(widely implanted pedestal collector) bipolar transistor. WIPEC can effectively prevent a 2D Kirk effect with minimizing the increase in base-collector junction capacitance. An address access time of 7ns was achieved for a 16Mb BiCMOS SRAM fabricated by using this technology.
