This paper presents an investigation on the processes, trends, and applications of the BiCMOS technology in the fields of microelectronics and communication electronics. The investigation will focus on the design perspectives and different modifications that were developed to provide a very-high performance BiCMOS integrated circuit for both digital and mixed-signal applications.

The enhancement-mode MOSFET is the primary active device used in present-day digital and mixed-signal integrated circuit processes. Thus, it is important to introduce this device and associated circuit design methods early in the electronics curriculum. This article discusses four integrated circuit MOSFET amplifier configurations; the current source/active load stage, the source follower, the ...

3D integration is the big next step in system integration. It is still an emerging technology though and its implications on die and packages are not fully understood yet. Furthermore, it comes in many different process flavors. Adoption by mainstream designers requires the availability of tools that let them evaluate the cost and benefits of 3D compared to conventional system implementations. ...

canola (brassica napus l.) is one of the most important oil seed crops. in order to evaluate the effects of integrated fertilization (chemical, manure and biofertilizers) on canola (b. napus variety hyola 401) yield and uptake of mineral nutrients in saline soil and water, a field experiment was conducted in randomized complete blocks (rcbd) arrangement with eight treatments in three replicatio...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated model of emotionally focused approach and gottman model on the quality of marital relationship in married women. in this study the quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test and follow up with a control group were used. the study population included married women who went to tehransar health center, district 21. th...

delivering added value public e-services often requires cooperation between two or more government departments. in general, such cooperation is ensured by implementing interoperability between automated business processes. in spite of the existence of several works interested in public online services in general, only few of them were focused on measuring interoperability degree, whether used o...
