A Novel SOI MESFET by Implanted N Layer (INL-SOI) for High Performance Applications

Authors

Abstract:

This paper introduces a novel silicon-on-insulator (SOI) metal–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) with an implanted N layer (INL-SOI MESFET) to improve the DC and radio frequency characteristics. The DC and radio frequency characteristics of the proposed structure are analyzed by the 2-D ATLAS simulator and compared with a conventional SOI MESFET (C-SOI MESFET). The simulated results show that the proposed structure has excellent effect on the driving current. The breakdown voltage of the INL-SOI MESFET structure gets 33.33% enhancement when compared with that of the C-SOI MESFET structure. Other main characteristics such as maximum output power density, maximum oscillation frequency, and maximum available gain have been evaluated and improved in the proposed structure.

A CMOS/SOI Single-input PWM Discriminator for Low-voltage Body-implanted Applications

A CMOS/SOI circuit to decode Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) signals is presented as part of a bodyimplanted neurostimulator for visual prosthesis. Since encoded data is the sole input to the circuit, the decoding technique is based on a novel double-integration concept and does not require low-pass filtering. Non-overlapping control phases are internally derived from the incoming pulses and a fas...

High Performance Lateral Schottky Collector Bipolar Transistors on SOI for VLSI Applications

Advanced bipolar transistors play a vital role in RF/Microwave applications. But they need to satisfy stringent demands on device performance parameters such as β, gm, and fT. Many of the bipolar technologies developed to meet these demands are vertical structures and suffer from many non−ideal effects at high collector current densities. In the present work, to enhance the performance limits o...
