E. Lourandakis, K. Nikellis, S. Stefanou, S. Bantas
Layout-dependent effects (LDE) as they are encountered in modern semiconductor technology processes are addressed and considered in this work. In particular, their effect on inductor modeling is discussed based on experimental results of devices fabricated and characterized in a 40 nm technology process. The proposed vector based modeling approach is accounting for these effects and its validity is demonstrated by comparison to experimental data. Improved correlation to measured inductor metrics such as inductance L and quality factor Q is demonstrated by considering the layout-dependent effects.

A 6-bit wideband variable gain amplifier with low group delay variation in 90nm CMOS 基于90nm CMOS的6位宽带低群延迟变增益放大器
M. Parlak, M. Matsuo, J. Buckwalter
This paper presents the design and implementation of a differential 6-bit variable gain amplifier (VGA) with low group delay imbalance over 64 gain states. Low group delay imbalance is crucial for wireless positioning technologies such as ranging biosensors. The VGA is designed to track the Friss loss and the gain variation is achieved using bias current steering. Two cascaded linear-in-magnitude stages provide 52 dB of gain control. The measured maximum group delay variation is 50 ps over 64 states. The input P1dB gain compression point ranges between -26 dBm and -15 dBm. The saturated output power is -5 dBm for 64 gain states. The VGA is implemented in a 90nm CMOS process and the chip size is 0.035mm2. The VGA consumes 14 mA from a 1.2 V supply excluding the buffer power consumption.

Loss mechanisms and quality factor improvement for inductors in high-resistivity SOI processes 高电阻率SOI工艺中电感损耗机理及品质因数改进
W. Kuhn
Silicon-on-insulator processes have the potential to realize high-quality factors in spiral inductors, but only if the loss mechanisms involved are clearly understood. Partially-depleted SOI (PD-SOI) processes must address losses in the semiconducting Silicon layer below the spiral inductor turns, even when high-resistivity substrates are employed. These losses are illustrated with a simplified lumped-element model and an array of inductors with different materials below is measured to confirm the theory. Q values achieved are up to 19 in the popular frequency range of 1 to 6 GHz without the use of expensive thick-metal in the process.
绝缘体上硅工艺有潜力在螺旋电感中实现高质量因素,但前提是要清楚地了解所涉及的损耗机制。部分耗尽SOI (PD-SOI)工艺必须解决螺旋电感匝以下半导体硅层的损耗问题,即使采用高电阻率衬底也是如此。这些损耗用一个简化的集总单元模型来说明,并在下面测量了一组不同材料的电感器来证实这一理论。在不使用昂贵的厚金属的情况下,在1至6 GHz的流行频率范围内实现的Q值高达19。

A wide tuning range high output power 56–74 GHz VCO with on-chip transformer load in SiGe technology 宽调谐范围高输出功率56-74 GHz压控振荡器,片上变压器负载SiGe技术
I. Nasr, B. Laemmle, H. Knapp, G. Fischer, R. Weigel, D. Kissinger
This paper presents a wide tuning range modified Colpitts VCO with high output power. The circuit was fabricated using a lowcost SiGe technology with an ft/fmax of 170/250 GHz. The VCO can be tuned between 56.4 and 73.8 GHz having a tuning range of ≈ 27%. The maximum measured output power is +9.4 dBm, and the output power remains above +7.0 dBm over the entire tuning range. The VCO has a minimum phase noise of -95 dBc/Hz, which stays below -88 dBc/Hz over the entire tuning range. On-chip frequency dividers were used to enable easier measurement. A single transformer was designed and used simultaneously for output matching of the VCO and as an output balun. The overall chip draws 112 mA from a 3.3 V supply, where the VCO draws 45 mA of the total current.

Effect of envelope amplifier nonlinearities on the output spectrum of Envelope Tracking Power Amplifiers 包络放大器非线性对包络跟踪功率放大器输出频谱的影响
M. Hassan, L. Larson, V. Leung, P. Asbeck
This paper examines the sources of Receive Band Noise (RxBN) in the Envelope Tracking Power Amplifier (ETPA) system. The Envelope Amplifier (EA) nonlinearity is found to be the dominant cause. The output spectrum of the ETPA is compared for the cases of highly linear class-A EA and nonlinear EA. To improve the out-of-band noise performance of the ETPA, Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) on the envelope path is proposed. It is shown that the out-of-band noise is reduced by 10 dB at 100 MHz offset if a highly linear envelope amplifier is used.

Nanopore test circuit for single-strand DNA sequencing 单链DNA测序的纳米孔测试电路
C. Palego, J. Hwang, C. Merla, F. Apollonio, M. Liberti
A nanopore test circuit is proposed for single-strand DNA sequencing, which allows real-time sensing of the electric conductance of individual sections of a DNA strand as it is pulled through the nanopore by an electric current at a controlled speed. The test circuit is based on a planar microchamber with a nanochannel drilled through its multilayer graphene electrode by an electron beam. The nanochannel is self-aligned with a nanopore created in the lipid bilayer membrane of liposomes by nanosecond electric pulses. Simulation shows that by carefully controlling the magnitude, period, and repetition rate of the pulses, the diameter of the nanopore can be optimized for the best speed the DNA is pulled through the nanopore.

This paper describes a set of miniature, three-stage 60 GHz LNAs designed in 40 nm LP CMOS. The designs prove effectiveness and ease of use of inductor-based ESD protection schemes applied to mm-wave circuits. The measured ESD protection levels reach 4.5 kV HBM, up to 7.6 A for VFTLP tests and a record of 1 kV CDM. At the same time, the NF of the LNAs is below 8 dB and the gain above 15 dB at 60 GHz, all at 1.1 V supply. These circuits can effectively be used as input stages of a phased array receiver.

SiGe building blocks for on-chip X-Band T/R modules 用于片上x波段T/R模块的SiGe构建块
T. Dinc, S. Zihir, Y. Gurbuz
This paper presents a T/R (transmit/receive) module for X-Band phased arrays using a 0.25 μm SiGe BiCMOS process technology. The T/R module consists of a T/R switch, a SPDT switch, a power amplifier (PA), and a low noise amplifier (LNA). The T/R switch and SPDT switch are implemented using CMOS transistors whereas the PA and LNA are based on SiGe HBTs. The designed T/R switch achieves minimum 3.2 dB insertion loss, maximum 34.8 dB isolation and has a P1dB of 28.2 dBm at 10 GHz. The SPDT switch has less than 2.2 dB loss at X-Band and occupies 0.17 mm2 chip area. The PA achieves a small-signal gain of 25 dB and a saturated output power of 23.2 dBm with 25% PAE in a 3 GHz bandwidth. Lastly, the LNA has a gain more than 19 dB and 1.65 dB (mean) noise figure at X-Band. More detailed analysis with extended results and utilized techniques will be presented at the conference.
本文提出了一种采用0.25 μm SiGe BiCMOS工艺技术的x波段相控阵收发模块。T/R模块由T/R开关、SPDT开关、PA (power amplifier)和LNA (low noise amplifier)组成。T/R开关和SPDT开关使用CMOS晶体管实现,而PA和LNA则基于SiGe hbt。设计的T/R开关实现最小3.2 dB插入损耗,最大34.8 dB隔离,10ghz时P1dB为28.2 dBm。SPDT开关在x波段的损耗小于2.2 dB,芯片面积为0.17 mm2。该放大器在3ghz带宽下实现了25 dB的小信号增益和23.2 dBm的饱和输出功率,PAE为25%。最后,LNA在x波段的增益大于19 dB,平均噪声系数为1.65 dB。将在会议上介绍更详细的分析和广泛的结果和使用的技术。

The T/R module consists of a T/R switch, a SPDT switch, a power amplifier (PA), and a low noise amplifier (LNA). The T/R switch and SPDT switch are implemented using CMOS transistors whereas the PA and LNA are based on SiGe HBTs. The designed T/R switch achieves minimum 3.2 dB insertion loss, maximum 34.8 dB isolation and has a P1dB of 28.2 dBm at 10 GHz. The SPDT switch has less than 2.2 dB loss at X-Band and occupies 0.17 mm2 chip area. The PA achieves a small-signal gain of 25 dB and a saturated output power of 23.2 dBm with 25% PAE in a 3 GHz bandwidth. Lastly, the LNA has a gain more than 19 dB and 1.65 dB (mean) noise figure at X-Band. More detailed analysis with extended results and utilized techniques will be presented at the conference.","PeriodicalId":339730,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 12th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems","volume":"379 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133246454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
