Silicon technology has progressed over the last several years from a digitally oriented technology to one well suited for microwave and RF applications at a high level of integration. Technology scaling, both at the transistor and back-end metallization level, has driven this progress. This paper summarizes the silicon technology advances associated with radio and wireless applications.
