Abstract

This thesis presents Bipolar transistor with SAVEN(Self-Aligned VErtical Nitride) structure as a high-speed device which is essential for high-speed system such as optical storage system or mobile communication system, and proposes 0.8${\mu}m$ BiCMOS Process which integrates LDD nMOS, LDD pMOS and SAVEN bipolar transistor into one-chip. The SPICE parameters of LDD nMOS, LDD pMOS and SAVEN Bipolar transistor are extracted, and comparator operating at 500MHz sampling frequency is designed with them. The small Parasitic capacitances of SAVEN bipolar transistor have a direct effect on decreasing recovery time and regeneration time, which is helpful to improve the speed of the comparator. Therefore the SAVEN bipolar transistor with high cutoff frequency is expected to be used in high-speed system.
