COMPLEMENTARY GAAS (CGaAs™)TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATIONS

摘要

A self aligned complementary GaAs (CGaAs™) technology has been developed for low-power, high-speed digital and mixed-mode applications. A single process flow has been used to build low-voltage, low-power, full-complementary digital circuits at 200MHz, high-speed SCFL digital circuits at 5GHz, RF MMIC and power circuits (900MHz), and combinations of these. Complementary digital circuits have demonstrated speed-power performance of O.1μW/MHz/gate at 0.9V. A mixed SCFL/ Complementary signal processor operated at > 1GHz with a speed-power performance of 0.16μW/MHz/gate.
