Design considerations for integration of horizontal current bipolar transistor (HCBT) with 0.18 μm bulk CMOS technology

Abstract

Horizontal Current Bipolar Transistor (HCBT) is the only bulk-silicon lateral bipolar transistor with state-of-the-art electrical performance published so far [1]. Integration of the HCBT with a commercial 0.18 μm CMOS process has been demonstrated [2] and yields a very low-cost BiCMOS technology platform suitable for wireless applications.
