The correct answer is False.
BiCMOS has higher standby leakage current than CMOS. This is because BiCMOS transistors have two types of transistors: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). BJTs have a higher leakage current than MOSFETs, so the overall leakage current of a BiCMOS circuit is higher than that of a CMOS circuit.
Standby leakage current is the current that flows through a circuit when it is in standby mode. This current can cause the battery to drain, and it can also generate heat. In some cases, standby leakage current can be high enough to cause problems with the circuit.
CMOS circuits have lower standby leakage current than BiCMOS circuits because they do not have BJTs. MOSFETs have a much lower leakage current than BJTs, so the overall leakage current of a CMOS circuit is much lower than that of a BiCMOS circuit.
In conclusion, the correct answer to the question “BiCMOS has lower standby leakage current” is False.
