Present Status and Future Direction of BSIM SOI Model for High- Performance/Low-Power/RF Application
نویسنده
چکیده
The recent progress of BSIM (Berkeley Short-channel IGFET Model) SPICE models extended for SOI transistors are reviewed. The models cover partially depleted (PD), fully depleted (FD) and dynamic depletion (FD) (automatically transition between PD and FD). The key concept of dynamic depletion will be discussed.

High Performance SOI RF Switch for Healthcare Application
The objective of this research was to design a 0-5 GHz RF SOI switch, with 0.18um power Jazz SOI technology by using Cadence software, for health care applications. The ultimate goal for such application is minimize the trade-offs between performance and cost, and between performance and low power consumption design. This paper introduces the design of a RF switch implemented in shunt-series to...
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 کاملA Review of SOI Technology and its Applications
Substrate engineering [1] has enabled the industry to overcome many of the limitations encountered by traditional scaling. As a result, device architecture and engineered substrates have become strongly coupled, a coupling that is growing stronger as the IC industry moves to the 32 nm technology node and beyond. Substrate engineering started in earnest with the industry transition to SOI wafers...
متن کاملSOI technology for the GHz era
Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS offers a 20–35% performance gain over bulk CMOS. High-performance microprocessors using SOI CMOS have been commercially available since 1998. As the technology moves to the 0.13m generation, SOI is being used by more companies, and its application is spreading to lower-end microprocessors and SRAMs. In this paper, after giving a short history of SOI in IBM, we de...
متن کاملRF CMOS and SOI Technology: Status quo, Recent Advances and Future Trends
With recent fast growth in the RF (Radio-Frequency) wireless communications market, the demand for high performance but low cost RF solutions is rising. Recent advances in SOI (Silicon on Insulator) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processing, continuous scaling of gate length, and progress in silicon on insulator have stirred serious discussions on the suitability of metal-ox...
