Abstract
A bipolar traveling wave amplifier has been implemented as a technology demonstrator in the argon-enhanced high resistivity silicon DIMES03 process technology. The improved active stage is based on an emitter-follower-cascode topology and facilitates 10 Gbit/s driver operation for a 13/15 GHz (f/sub T//f/sub MAX/) transistor technology.
