Application of an SOI

چکیده
Systems-on-chips (SoCs) that combine digital and high-speed communication circuits present new opportunities for powersaving designs. This results from both the large number of system specifications that can be traded off to minimize overall power and the inherent low capacitance of densely integrated devices. As shown in this paper, aggressively scaled silicon-oninsulator (SOI) CMOS is a promising technology for SoCs for several reasons: Transistor scaling leads to active power reduction in the sub-50-nm-channel-length regime, standard interconnect supports the high-quality passive devices essential to communications circuitry, and high-speed analog circuits on SOI are state of the art in terms of both performance and power dissipation. We discuss the migration of a complete digital circuit library from bulk to SOI to prove that SOI CMOS supports ASIC-style as well as fully custom circuit design.

Output-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...

In this work, a novel Silicon on Insulator (SOI) MOSFET is proposed and investigated. The drain and source electrode structures are optimized to enhance ON-current while global device temperature and hot carrier injection are decreased. In addition, to create an effective heat passage from channel to outside of the device, a silicon region has embedded in the buried oxide. In order to reduce th...

The fully-depleted SOI-MOSFET model HiSIM-SOI for circuit simulation is the first model for circuit simulation based on a complete surface-potential description. HiSIM-SOI solves the surface potentials at all three SOI-surfaces perpendicular to the channel surface self-consistently. Besides verification against measured I-V characteristics, HiSIM-SOI is also verified with a 1/f noise analysis, ...
