The complete guide to CMOS/BiCMOS ULSI and GSI for every circuit design professional. The in-depth, up-to-the-minute guide to low-power, low-voltage circuit design Process integration, device modeling, and characterization Includes the latest MOS and bipolar models Advanced copper metallization techniques, deep submicron processes, and isolation techniques Today's engineers must build devices that are more portable, more reliable, and more cost-effective than ever before. To this end, power has become a crucial consideration in ultra-large-scale-integration (ULSI) and giga-scale integration (GSI) engineering. BiCMOS technology now represents the optimal solution for a wide range of advanced applications. In this book, three of the field's leaders present in-depth coverage of the latest developments in CMOS/BiCMOS ULSI designincluding thorough analyses of the fabrication technologies needed to realize low-voltage, low-power CMOS/BiCMOS structures. Unlike previous books, CMOS/BICMOS ULSI covers low-voltage, low-power circuit design from all perspectives, including process integration, device modeling, and characterization. Coverage includes: MOS/BiCMOS process technology and integration, including manufacturing considerations, advanced isolation techniques, and breakthrough copper metallization schemes Device behavior and modeling, including new bipolar models such as HICUM, MEXTRAM, and VBIC, and key MOS models such as EKV, BSIM, and Philips MOS9 Model In-depth comparisons of circuit techniques, configurations, and features of single battery operation Altering transistor positions: New techniques for designing low-voltage, low-power latches and flip-flops BiCMOS combines the low-power dissipation and high packing density of CMOS with the high speed and high output drive of bipolar devices. Using this book's state-of-the-art design techniques, you can leverage BiCMOS to its fullest advantage.
