Wide frequency band assessment of advanced MOSFET architectures in a view of analog and RF applications

چکیده
Last years our team was involved in EU projects on the development of cutting-edge MOSFET technology with industrial and RI leaders in the domain, such as ST-Microelectronics (Fr), CEA-Leti (Fr), IMEC (Be). Thanks to this collaboration, EC and FNRS fundings, we had possibility to assess various advanced MOSFETs in the view of their further analog/RF applications [1]. Both UTBB and MuG architectures were revealed to be promising for mobile/wireless applications with LOP/LSTP options with a potential for improvements [1].

Performance of Double Gate SOI MOSFET
The physical dimensions of bulk MOSFETs have been aggressively scaled down and these conventional devices will soon be experiencing limited improvements due to the scaling down. In order to continue performance improvements, new device architectures are needed. As the scaling of MOSFET into sub-100nm regime, SOI and DG-MOSFET are expect to replace traditional bulk MOSFET. These novel MOSFET dev...

متن کاملOutput-Conductance Transition-Free Method for Improving Radio-Frequency Linearity of SOI MOSFET Circuits
In this article, a novel concept is introduced to improve the radio frequency (RF) linearity of partially-depleted (PD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFET circuits. The transition due to the non-zero body resistance (RBody) in output conductance of PD SOI devices leads to linearity degradation. A relation for RBody is defined to eliminate the transition and a method to obtain transition-free c...
متن کاملC-V Investigation in Optically Illuminated MOSFET
A thorough investigation of N-channel multifinger MOSFET capacitances in dark and under optical illumination is presented in this paper. The intrinsic and extrinsic capacitances are modelled and analysed considering the scaling effects for sub-micron scale MOSFET. Bias dependence is taken into account and capacitances essential for small signal model for RF frequency operation are evaluated. Th...
