Abstract :
Describes a versatile analog BiCMOS process, merging 20 V bipolar and nominal 10 V CMOS transistors, as well as a large assortment of passive components, and manufactured using 2.0 micron feature sizes. The authors describe the BiCMOS process integration issues, active and passive component information, reliability design considerations, and mixed-signal device isolation issues. Several of the modular extensions to the baseline process, adding high-voltage, high-speed, and power elements to the list of available components are covered. Future technology issues are briefly discussed
