Abstract
QUBiC4G is a robust very low-power SiGe RF-BiCMOS technology for emerging wireless and optical networking with NPN fT/fmax up to 70/100 GHz and BVceo = 2.7 V, excellent substrate isolation, 0.25 μm CMOS, full suite of high quality passives, 5 metal layers and an advanced design flow. We present a 12.5 Gb/s optical networking crosspoint switch and a low-noise 20 GHz LC-VCO.
