submicron emitter geometry. The
process is capable of simulta-
neous high fT and high NPN
breakdown (25 GHz fT at 6V
BVCEO). The process utilizes
industry standard device oxide
isolation technologies and
submicron aluminum multilayer
interconnect to achieve superior
performance, high uniformity,
and proven reliability.
