But RF designers such as Josef Fenk , manager of the wireless product group at Infineon Technologies AG ( Munich , Germany ) and Frank Op't Eynde of Alcatel ( Zavantem , Belgium ) saw CMOS as co-existing with other technologies such as bipolar , GaAs , BiCMOS , SiGe and GaAs/InP ( indium phosphide ) long into the future.
Digital CMOS is regarded as something of a savior because of its low cost and manufacturing ease , said Josef Fenk. But that cost is based on a vanilla CMOS - CMOS with not too many components - and does not include the cost associated with a stumble to market that might accompany a departure from the bipolar norm. A technology like BiCMOS offers significant performance improvements in terms of noise and is not much more expensive than CMOS , adding only four or five mask steps , even as the base technology scaled from 0.35 to 0.12 micron , Alcatel's Op't Eynde pointed out.
