Mixed signals on mixed-signal: the right next technology

RA Rutenbar, D Harame, K Johnson, P Kempf… - Proceedings of the 40th …, 2003 - dl.acm.org
CMOS dominates digital microelectronics. However, wireless applications require RF
circuits at 1-5GHz, and exotic higher frequency applications are on the horizon. Silicon-
Germanium (SiGe) is a growing choice for these designs. But is it" the" answer? Some argue
that scaled CMOS will handle all tomorrow's RF ICs. Others argue that one-chip SoC
solutions will never be the winning strategy for these highly heterogeneous designs, and
place their bets on system-in-package (SiP) technologies. Is there a right answer here? Is …
