The high-speed broadband analog integrated circuits based on the complimentary bipolar technology are widely used in modern equipment. The speed of such circuits is directly related to the boundary frequency of the transistors used. Some modern approaches to development of the complimentary bipolar technologies, providing the high performance of the designed integrated circuits and systems on a chip, have been considered. With the help of CAD software TCAD the device-technological modeling of the element basis has been carried out. The technological route for manufacturing an operational amplifier by the high-speed complimentary technology with a self-compliant emitter-base note, based on two layers of polysilicon, has been developed. To ensure the self-alignment of the base and emitter layers of polysilicon in manufacture of the NPN and PNP transistors with formation of an L-shaped nitride spacer has been used. The side insulation of the components has been accomplished by narrow vertical slits lined with oxide and silicon nitride and filled with polysilicon. The developed technological manufacturing route has permitted to reach the boundary frequency of the NPN and PNP transistors on a single crystal of 8-10 GHz with the breakdown voltages of the collector-emitter of more than 10 V. To a large extent the problem of the complementarity of bipolar transistors has been solved. In future this will give the possibility to create a new class of domestic broadband and high-speed analog-digital integrated circuits and to provide the technological independence of the Russian Federation.
The quadrature modulators and demodulators are widely used to create modern wireless communication systems. It is important to ensure high quality of the transmitted signals in order to have the exchange of information without loss or failure. From the point of view of the spectral decomposition of the signal (Fourier series decomposition), the useful component of the spectrum must be much larger than all other components. The carrier (LO frequency and spurious sideband are the most critical and undesirable quadrature modulator output signal spectral components. In the work, in the course of the research using the methods of suppressing the parasitic components, based on minimizing phase, amplitude and current imbalances in various nodes of the quadrature modulator circuit, have been revealed. In order to realize suppression, the special digital-to-analog converters are used in conjunction with a polyphase filter on varicaps, a phase-shifting block and current sources. The effectiveness of these methods is confirmed by the achievement of suppression of parasitic components in prototypes of 50 dB or more. It has been stated that the phase unbalance minimization is more effective than the amplitude unbalance minimization to sideband suppression. It has been revealed that the use of a phase-shifting block is a more suitable architecture to control the phase unbalance. The obtained results can be useful in the design of high-precision radio frequency units for various purposes.
