"One of them describes Intel's 90-nanometer logic technology, which uses a graded silicon germanium layer in the channel to strain the active layer of silicon on top. The abstract promises that "several techniques with various germanium concentrations have been evaluated and will be presented." Intel's second paper in the session describes an equally important divergence: The company will add SiGe bipolar transistors to the strained-silicon logic technology, creating a 90-nm process aimed at communications markets. The SiGe heterogeneous bipolar transistors operate at 100 GHz, with a cutoff frequency of 150 GHz. The 90-nm technology supports CMOS RF devices, metal-in-metal capacitors and other passive components required to fully integrate the RF and digital functions of a cell phone onto a single chip. Intel has used the process to make a 10-Gbit/second serializer/deserializer "certification" vehicle as a way "to comprehend the high-frequency risks of the technology," according to the abstract." siliconstrategies.com
