Competing technologies for high-speed digital systems

Abstract

Several new technologies, including sub-micron CMOS, SOI/ SMOS, BiCMOS GaAs and advanced bipolar ECL, are being developed for the super-fast ULSI digital system of the '90s. . . The panel will discuss whether the continued scaling of bulk CMOS will be adequate or whether a change over to technologies such as SOI or GaAs will be required . . . Meaningful measures for comparing these technologies will also be assessed.
