Abstract

In the PC era, microprocessors and memory were the semiconductor components that drove the PC industry. In the Internet era, DSP and analog functions will drive the Internet access industry. System-on-a-chip (SOC) integration will be the primary technology driver along with continuing Moore´s law. This paper discusses the device issues on the integration of analog baseband, small signal RF functions and power management function together with low cost, high density, deep submicron digital CMOS. The integration will require creative new analog and RF device design together with creative circuit techniques.
