4. Integrated circuit applications

Designing high-performance circuits in as few iterations as possible requires high-performance electrical models. Electrical modeling of bipolar transistors is presented in [E 1 426] .

The main applications of fast BiCMOS technologies today are :

• communication infrastructures, whether for :

  • wireless communications between cell phone network stations (the frequencies selected for the 5G network in most countries are currently 28 GHz and 39 GHz);

  • fiber optic communications...
