A 40 volt silicon complementary bipolar technology for high-precision and high-frequency analog circuits

A high performance and low cost complementary bipolar technology has been developed for the realization of high-precision and high-frequency analog circuits. The technology, referred to as VIP-3 (Vertically Integrated PNP-3), offers transistors with typical BV/sub ceo/ of NPN and PNP transistors at 45 and 60 volts, respectively. In addition, the technology offers BV/sub ceo//spl times/f/sub t//h/sub fe//spl times/Va figures of merit in excess of 135 GHz/spl middot/V/20,000 V for NPN and 130 GHz/spl middot/V/6,500 V for PNP.
