State-of-the-art RF/analog foundry technology

We present an overview of the state-of-the-art RF/Analog foundry technology as well as future trends and roadmap. This set of RF/analog technology is built on top of cutting-edge logic technology platforms and it enables cost-effective and fast-time-to-market/volume system-on-chip (SoC) applications, including the rapidly growing wireless-LAN (WLAN) and Blue tooth products in addition to traditional consumer and communication products. Results from 0.18 /spl mu/m- to 0.13 /spl mu/m-generation mixed-signal and RF CMOS technology, and SiGe BiCMOS technology are highlighted. Special optimization of active devices and precision high-Q components is also illustrated.
