The test structure developed in [1] is employed to directly access the characteristics of the substrate to extract the different substrate components. A methodology is developed to directly extract the parameters for the substrate network from the measured data. By using the measured two-port data of a set of nMOSFETs with different number of fingers, with the DNW in grounded and float configuration, respectively, the parameters of the scalable substrate model are obtained. The method and the substrate model are further verified and validated by matching the measured and simulated output admittances. Excellent agreement up to 40 GHz for configurations in common-source has been achieved.展开更多

A traditional n-MOS Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) switch has good performances but only for a single operating frequency. For multiple operating frequencies, to transmitting or receiving information through the multiple antennas systems, known as MIMO systems, it a new RF switch is required which should be capable of operating with multiple antennas and frequencies as well as minimizing signal distortions and power consumption. We already have proposed a Double-Pole Four-Throw (DP4T) RF switch and in this research article we are discussing a process for the characterization of the MOSFET with Virtual Instrumentation. The procedure to characterize oxide and conductor layers that are grown or deposited on semiconductors is by studying the characteristics of a MOS capacitor that is formed of the conductor (Metal)-insulator-semiconductor layers for the purpose of RF CMOS as a switch is presented. For a capacitor formed of Metal-silicon dioxide-silicon layers with a thick oxide measured opti-cally. Some of the calculated material parameters are away from the expected values. These errors might be due to several factors such as a possible offset capacitance of the probes due to improper contact with the wafer which is measured by using the LCR (Inductance-Capacitance-Resistance) meter with the help of Visual Engineering Environment Programming (VEE Pro, a Agilent product).展开更多

Practical expressions of boost-up efficiency for d. c. condition and a. c. condition are proposed and are examined by simulations. It is shown that the SOI-MOSFET-based quasi-diode is a promising device for the Schenkel circuit because high boost-up efficiency can be gained easily. An a. c. analysis indicates that the fully-depleted condition should hold to suppress the floating-body effect for GHz-level RF applications of a quasi-diode.展开更多

A double-pole four-throw double-gate radio-frequency complementary-metal-oxide-semicon- ductor (DP4T DG RF CMOS) switch for operating at the 1 GHz is implemented with 45-nm CMOS process technology.
