What Does BICMOS Stand For?

BICMOS stands for Bipolar Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor

BICMOS, or Bipolar Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, is a semiconductor technology that combines the advantages of bipolar and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistors. This hybrid integration leverages the high-speed performance and analog capabilities of bipolar devices alongside the low power consumption and high density of CMOS technology. BICMOS is commonly used in applications requiring high-speed processing and efficient power management, such as in telecommunications, data converters, and high-performance digital circuits.
