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.

In this paper, we propose a single-turn multiple-layer interlaced stacked transformer structure with nearly perfect magnetic-coupling factor (kIM∼ 1) using standard mixed-signal/RF CMOS (or BiCMOS) technology. A single-turn six-layer interlaced stacked transformer was implemented to demonstrate the proposed structure. Temperature dependence (from -25 °C to 175°C) of the quality-factor (Q-factor), kIm, resistive-coupling factor (kRe), maximum available power gain (GAmax), and minimum noise figure (NFmin) performances of the transformer are reported. State-of-the-art GAmaxof 0.762 and 0.904 (i.e. NFminof 1.181 dB and 0.437 dB) have been achieved at 5.2 GHz and 8 GHz, respectively, at room temperature, mainly due to the perfect magnetic-coupling factor and the high resistive-coupling factor. The present analysis is helpful for RF engineers to design ultra-low-voltage high-performance transformer-feedback LNAs and VCOs, and other RF-ICs which include transformers.

Low cost is the trend for consumer electronics. However, the challenges of the LCD-TV processor using cost-effective two-layer ball grid array (BGA) packages suffer from serious crosstalk and return loss due to lack of a solid plane to suppress the coupling effect and control the trace impedance. Two types of two-layer BGA packages were measured and simulated using a 3D full-wave electromagnetic field solver and an EM-based 3D parasitic extractor to analyze their speed limitations and power coupling between the signals and the power net. The results indicated the signal coupling is the dominant factor for insertion loss. Thus, the design guidelines and specifications using two-layer BGA packages are proposed for development of the next generation processors.

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.

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.
