BiCMOS stands for Bipolar Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor. BiCMOS technology is an integration technology that combines bipolar and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) devices on a single chip. This technology is primarily used to combine the features of analog and digital circuits in a single IC chip. In this article, we will discuss BiCMOS technology, its definition, fabrication process, advantages, disadvantages, and applications. Before discussing the BiCMOS technology, let us first get an overview of bipolar technology and CMOS technology individually. What is Bipolar Technology? A semiconductor technology in which BJTs (Bipolar Junction Transistors) are used as the fundamental building blocks ... Read More

Semiconductor devices are extensively used in the field of electronics. A semiconductor is a substance whose resistivity lies between conductors and insulators. Semiconductors have negative temperature co-efficient. The resistance in semiconductors increases with the decrease in temperature and vice versa. The conducting properties of a semiconductor changes, when a suitable metallic impurity is added to it.In this article, we will highlight the major differences between intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors by considering different parameters such as doping level, conductivity, charge density, etc.What is an Intrinsic Semiconductor?A semiconductor material in its pure form is known as an intrinsic semiconductor. Thus, the intrinsic ... Read More
