Silicon Germanium (SiGe) is a new circuit technology that utilizes the benefits of silicon with the speed of more costly technologies. SiGe transistors have demonstrated marked improvements in the frequency, noise, and current of circuits, making a deep impact on telecommunications IC design. Readers can use this book in a variety of ways: to gain in-depth practical understanding of the process, to learn how the technology can be enabled to produce leading-edge designs, or to familiarize themselves with the most important designs built using SiGe to date. The book also covers the important topic of when SiGe is required over CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) and SOI (silicon on insulator).
