A Study of Figures of Merit for High Frequency Behavior of MOSFETs in RF IC Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is to review important device parameters as the figures of merit (FOM) to understand the device characteristics for analog/RF applications. These FOM should be characterized and evaluated in technology development and model generation for analog/RF technologies. This paper has tried to show these FOM with both measured data and model simulation to help both technology developers and modelers in developing high performance advanced processes and generating high quality accurate models. Device models generated with validations based on these FOM will greatly help circuit designers in designing robust and high performance analog/RF IC circuits.

Analysis and Design of Finfet Based Variable Gain Amplifier
Comparison of analog figures-of-merit of FinFETs and MOSFETs reveals an interesting tradeoff in the analog/RF design space. It is found that FinFETs possess the following key advantages over MOSFETs: reduced power dissipation, and better voltage gain without degradation of noise or linearity. This makes them attractive for low-frequency RF applications around 5 GHz, where the performance-power ...

متن کاملEffects of the Spacer Length on the High-Frequency Nanoscale Field Effect Diode performance
The performance of nanoscale Field Effect Diodes as a function of the spacer length between two gates is investigated. Our numerical results show that the Ion/Ioff ratio which is a significant parameter in digital application can be varied from 101 to 104 for S-FED as the spacer length between two gates increases whereas this ratio is approximately constant for M-FED. The high-frequency perform...
