Abstract
A static frequency divider and a multiplexer operating up to 50 GHz and at 40 Gb/s, respectively, are used for optical-fiber link systems operating at a 40 Gb/s data rate in global communication applications. The digital circuits are fabricated in self-aligned selective-epitaxial SiGe-base heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT) with self-aligned stacked metal/IDP (SMI) electrodes. The HBTs provide a 95 GHz cutoff frequency and 8 ps emitter-coupled logic gate delay in Si technology.
