The physics of frequency-dependent shift in transistor parameters due to negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) is examined using numerical and analytical solutions of the reaction-diffusion model (R-D). We find that the magnitude of NBTI degradation depends on frequency through a complex interplay of reaction- and diffusion-limited trap generation processes, and that the intrinsic symmetry of the stress and relaxation phases can account for the relatively weak frequency dependence of the NBTI phenomenon. We also show that the model is consistent with the broad features of the dynamic NBTI problem and can provide an adequate framework to discuss NBTI issues.

Sub-0.2-/spl mu/m AlGaN/GaN HEMTs were successfully scaled to 1.05 mm gate-width with minor gain reduction. On-chip single-stage amplifiers exhibited gains of 8 dB and 7.5 dB, as well as output powers of 3.6 W and 3.5 W, at 30 GHz and 35 GHz, respectively. This multi-watt output power at millimeter-wave frequencies well exceeded previous state-of-the-art for a GaN HEMT and is comparable to that from 6-7 times larger GaAs-based devices.

A novel diode-triggered SCR (DTSCR) ESD protection element is introduced for low-voltage application (signal, supply voltage /spl les/1.8 V) and extremely narrow ESD design margins. Trigger voltage engineering in conjunction with fast and efficient SCR voltage clamping is applied for the protection of ultra-sensitive circuit nodes, such as SiGe HBT bases (e.g. f/sub Tmax/=45 GHz in BiCMOS-0.35 /spl mu/m LNA input) and thin gate-oxides (e.g. tox=1.7 nm in CMOS-0.09 /spl mu/m input). SCR integration is possible based on CMOS devices or can alternatively be formed by high-speed SiGe HBTs.

We show a novel color filter system that can be implemented in a standard CMOS process without any additional chemicals and processing, using standard CMOS metals like aluminum. The filter uses sub-wavelength aperture and grating arrays allowing some light wavelengths through while blocking others. Furthermore, we show an integrated photo-detector, both as a standard junction diode and an MSM diode which combines the filters and detector into the simplest color imaging system. The experimental data is explained with simulations and electromagnetic theory.

A highly accurate predictive inductor model for integrated symmetric inductors with center tap and patterned ground shield is presented. This model is based on a modified Greenhouse algorithm where current crowding due to skin and proximity effects is included by considering the spread in parallel sub-loop inductances. This scalable symmetrical inductor equivalent circuit model covers all operating conditions, and yet only requires dimensions and back-end layer thicknesses. We have verified this scalable model for a large number of inductors from three industrial IC processes and found excellent agreement with measured inductances, Q-factors, and resonance frequencies.

An array of measured device data, a numerical device simulator, and a process/physics-based compact model are used to gain new and important physical insights on nanoscale FinFETs with undoped thin-fin bodies. The insights, which include unavoidable/needed gate underlap, bias-dependent effective channel length, and non-ohmic fin-extension voltage drops, reveal the significance of gate positioning on, and source/drain doping profile in, the thin fin, and imply novel compact modeling that will be needed for optimal design of nonclassical CMOS circuits.

Self-aligned top and bottom metal double gate (SAMDG) low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated at 550/spl deg/C using the diode pumped solid state (DPSS) CW laser lateral crystallization (CLC) method, on non-alkali glass. The current drivability of these TFTs is eight or nine times as large as that of conventional excimer laser crystallized (ELC) poly-Si TFTs. It was confirmed that the extreme high performance of SAMDG CLC poly-Si TFT was maintained for gate length of 2.0 /spl mu/m.
