Abstract-The BiPMOS device associated with n-well BiCMOS technologies consumes substantial area for isolation. A merged BiPMOS device structure is introduced to reduce the device size for BiCMOS VLSI. The performance of the merged BiPMOS device has been analyzed by PISCES-2B [1], Comparisons between the merged BiPMOS device and the conventional one show that the merged BiPMOS device, which occupies a much smaller area, has a comparable performance.
