Abstract:
Bipolar IC processes are reviewed, and the impact of BiCMOS technology on bipolar VLSI is discussed. The discussion covers standard emitter-coupled-logic (ECL) circuit configuration, on-chip line driving, output circuitry, series gating, ECL versus CML (current-mode logic), differential logic, noise margins, interconnect capacitance, bipolar VLSI transistor design and scaling, and processes for ECL VLSI.<>
