Abstract
A generalized first-order scaling guide for digital BiCMOS circuit structures is presented. The effect of layout, profile, and power supply scaling on the circuit performance is reported. A case study that illustrates the speed improvement of BiCMOS circuit structures when the power supply is scaled from 5 V to 3.3 V is shown.<>
