I don't know about modern chips, but 1970s and 1980s logic chips just used big MOSFETs to drive their outputs. There wasn't any weird timing magic going on.

There are also processes like analog BiCMOS that let you mix bipolar analog circuitry and CMOS on the same chip. I also wrote recently about the 76477 sound chip that combined I2L logic with bipolar analog circuits.
