CONCLUSION The extra process complexity requires chip manufacturers to command a premium for BiCMOS products. In the analog market the ability to integrate large mixed systems provides thecompelling cost advantage of BiCMOS; this market is still emerging. BiCMOS is a complement to pure CMOS and Bipolar technologies in important system application areas.
