BCD Technologies for VLSI Smart Power ICs

This paper describes a smart power bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology called BCD III designed at 1.2μ for single chip system integration. This technology, besides providing bipolar, CMOS and DMOS functions, offers the possibility to implement on the same chip EPROM and EEPROM non-volatile memories. A practical example of a complete system realized in a single chip solution using BCD III is also reported.
