As the semiconductor industry continually drives our life into 21st century with increased productivity and improved convenience throughout the economy, both foundries and EDA vendors are heavily investing in developing the technology platform for nano-scale and RF technologies, in order to support the significantly increased demand for compact, low cost, and low power IC design. With a lot of fundamentals to be understood and a lot of technical barriers to be overcome in process technologies, device modeling advanced design methodologies, and system architecture, this technology platform is becoming crucial in providing an accurate and efficient design environment for RF SoC design. This paper will try to outline this technology platform and review in general device modeling and its role as a foundation of the advanced technology platform for RF SoC design.

The power and area formulas for four popular Sinc-filter structures used in decimation filters were discussed in this paper. It was proved that the formulas are very useful in power or area estimation and comparison. The circuit implementations of each structure are illustrated. And the power and area comparisons of the four structures were simulated and analyzed. A further optimization technology for one of the efficient filter structures was also proposed.

The Tight-Binding (TB) model has been applied to investigate the bandstructures for semiconductor nanowires. With a specific implementation of SP3d5s* in the TB method, the orientation dependence of nanowire bandstructures can be quickly and accurately evaluated. It is found that while most axial directions of nanowires preserve the indirect band gap of bulk silicon, particular orientation can render direct band gap feature. In this paper, a [112] oriented silicon nanowire has been simulated using supercell approach and compared to the available measured data. The good agreement shows the proposed method is highy reliable and efficient.

A fast-settling, temperature-insensitive voltage buffer is analyzed and designed. Class AB output stage in the buffer leads to high slew rate with relatively low power dissipation. The current switch not only sets the quiescent current of the output transistors, but also compensates the variation of Vth with temperature, which makes the buffer workable in a wide range of temperature. Simulation results show that the 0.1% settling time with 2V input step and 2OpF load is always less than 165ns when the temperature varies from 0°C to 100°C while the dissipation is less than 3mW. The die area without pads in 0.5um CMOS process is 350* 150um2.

This paper provides an explicit analytical charge-based model of Asymmetrical Double Gate (ADG) MOSFET. Its is based on Poisson equation resolution and field continuity equations, and gives explicit analytical expressions of the inversion charge and the drain current considering a long undoped transistor. There are no charge-sheet approximation and no fitting parameter. Consequently, this is a fully analytical and predictive model allowing to describe planar DG MOSFET as well as FinFET. The validity of this model is demonstrated by comparisons with Atlas simulations.

A 2ndorder RF bandpass filter with high-Q active inductor using low-voltage is presented. In the filter, a design technique for a tunable high-Q CMOS active inductor operating in the wide RF-band is described. Simulated performance is presented showing that the center frequency of filter using a 0.25-um CMOS process can be operated at the 1.60G∼2.45GHz frequency band under a 1.8V power supply and quality factor is adjusted from 30∼200 when fc≈2.45GHz.

NMOS surface-channel transistors using shallow trench isolation (STI) is known to show reverse narrow width effect (RNWE) such that the threshold voltage becomes smaller when the channel width decreases. We found that by using a phosphorus deep S/D implant in addition to an arsenic deep S/D implant, the threshold voltage first becomes larger when the channel width decreases and then later becomes smaller when the channel width further decreases for NMOS transistors with very small gate lengths. We attribute such an anomalous narrow width effect to an enhancement of TED due to Si interstitials generated by the phosphorus implant. PMOS transistors show up a much stronger anomalous narrow width effect compared to NMOS transistors. We attribute such an anomalous narrow width effect to an enhancement of phosphorus and arsenic TED due to Si interstitials generated by the deep boron S/D implant.

Fabrication of ultrahigh packed pit and dot arrays have been studied using conventional electron beam (EB) writing, and positive and negative EB resists, ZEP520 and calixarene, respectively. Using fine electron beam with high probe current and very thinner resists, we demonstrate that the negative resist has a potential to achieve an ultrahigh density storage with both bit pitch (BP) and track pitch (TP) of <30 nm and a dot diameter of <15 nm, although the positive resist has a limitation at a BP of 60nm and a TP of 40nm. This dot array opens a way toward >1 trillion bits per inch2(Tb/in2) storage technology.

One of the possible solutions to the low voltage applications of modern integrated circuit, which was widely demanded by recently developed submicron CMOS technology, is the bootstrapped switch technique. In order to overcome its drawbacks such like the reliability issue on the main signal switch during the clock transition, three different approaches were proposed in this paper along with the simulation results. The oxide lifetime can benefit from these modifications without much circuit degradation.
