SiGe-​BiCMOS & EPIC Tech­nol­ogy

The de­vel­op­ment of ad­vanced gen­er­a­tions of SiGe het­ero­junc­tion bipo­lar tran­sis­tors (SiGe HBT) and their in­te­gra­tion into com­plex BiC­MOS tech­nolo­gies for high-​frequency ap­pli­ca­tions for use in wire­less and broad­band com­mu­ni­ca­tions is the cen­tral topic of IHP tech­nol­ogy re­search. This is com­ple­mented by re­search and de­vel­op­ment of electro-​photonic in­te­grated cir­cuit (EPIC) tech­nolo­gies. All de­vel­op­ments have the com­mon goal to pro­vide ef­fi­cient and com­pact tech­nolo­gies based on mono­lithic in­te­gra­tion and to make them avail­able to our part­ners within IHP's MPW ser­vice of­fer­ing.
