Abstract

Silicon-on-anything (SOA) technology is used to integrate an ultra low-power bipolar high-frequency process with high-quality passive components including spiral inductors. The first step to low-power RF operation is proper device scaling. This is done by glueing the fully processed SOI wafers, top-down, to a glass substrate and removing the silicon substrate by grinding and KOH etching selectively to the buried oxide layer. Next, a PECVD passivation layer is deposited, contacts to bondpads are etched and dies are separated and bonded followed by standard packaging. Circuits with record low-power RF performance are demonstrated.
