چکیده
To my family and friends. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research work that I commenced four years ago would not have culminated into this dissertation without the help and constant support of many people. I am grateful to my advisor, Professor John D. Cressler, for providing me with this wonderful and exciting opportunity. His deep love and enthusiasm for research and his passion for life is very infectious. His efforts towards ensuring the progress and well-being of his students is truly remarkable and I am a very happy beneficiary of that. I am immensely proud to have been associated with him and his SiGe Research Group.

A 16-GHz Ultra-High-Speed Si–SiGe HBT Comparator
This paper presents an improved master–slave bipolar Si–SiGe HBT comparator design for ultra-high-speed data converter applications. The latch is maintained during the track stage facilitating quick transition back to the latch stage, increasing the sampling speed of the comparator. Implemented in a 0.5m 55-GHz BiCMOS Si–SiGe process, this comparator consumes approximately 80 mW with sampling s...
متن کاملSiGe HBT wideband amplifier for millimeter wave applications
A wideband amplifier up to 50 GHz has been implemented in a 0.25 μm, 200 GHz f t SiGe BiCMOS technology. Die size was 0.7×0.73 mm. The two-stage design achieves more than 11 dB gain over the whole 20 to 50 GHz band. Gain maximum was 14.2 dB at 47.5 GHz. Noise figure was lower than 9 dB up to 34 GHz and a current of 30 mA was drawn from a 4 V supply. To the author’s best knowledge this is the hi...
متن کاملA High Performance Field Programmable Gate Arrays Created by SiGe HBT BiCMOS
In 2000, the first high speed SiGe FPGA utilizing Current Mode Logic (CML) was proposed. The excellent high speed performance that CML allows made it a good candidate for use in high speed FPGA design. However, the large power consumption associated with CML (108mW for the FPGA building block) made the design difficult to scale up. To alleviate this problem, an improved FPGA with shorter propag...
