As the faster transistors are produced in BiCMOS SiGe technology, low voltage trigger ESD networks will be required to achieve good ESD protection. Diode-configured SiGe HBT trigger elements are used in a SiGe C HBT power clamp network in a 200/285 GHz fT/fMAX silicon germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology in a 0.13-propm CMOS technology base.
