A high linear fully differential RF CMOS amplifier covering UHF band is presented in this paper. A novel structure with both NMOS and PMOS differential pairs is proposed to cancel IM3 induced by 1st order derivative of transconductance (gm') and 2nd order derivative of transconductance (gm"). With appropriate DC operating points and aspect ratios, the RF CMOS amplifier achieves 12.5dB noise figure (NF), 10.5dB voltage gain and 17.5dBm input third order intercept point (IIP3) with total current consumption of 2mA from 1.8V voltage supply. The proposed amplifier is designed in TSMC 0.18µm CMOS process.

In this paper, noise analysis for a low noise transconductance amplifier (LNTA) is performed. LNTA becomes popular and necessary as the high linearity requirement and low supply voltage trend make the RF front-end design go into current domain. Common-gate common-source (CG-CS) topology is examined for noise analysis. Via theoretical analysis and specific equations derived, this paper not only studies how to arrange the topology and how to choose the design parameters, but also discusses the tradeoffs existing in LNTA design between noise figure, input matching and linearity.

In this work, the effects of fluorine incorporation by using plasma on the electrical properties of Si MOS capacitor with La2O3 gate dielectric are investigated. From the capacitance-voltage (C-V) curve and gate leakage current, it is demonstrated that the F-plasma treatment can effectively suppress the growth of interfacial layer, and thus improve the electrical properties of the device in terms of accumulation capacitance, interface-state density and breakdown voltage.

Reconfiguring a VLSI array with faults is to construct a maximum logical sub-array (target array). A large target array implies a good harvest of the corresponding reconfiguration algorithm. Thus, a tight upper bound of the harvest can be directly used to evaluate the performance of the reconfiguration algorithm. This paper presents a new approach to calculate the upper bound of the harvest for the VLSI arrays with clustered faults. Simulation results show that the upper bound is reduced up to 20% on 256 × 256 array with clustered faults.

A novel flash memory cell based on Tunneling Field Effect Transistor (TFET) is investigated via 2-D device simulation in this paper. The proposed flash memory cell shows improved program/erase speed, increased programming efficiency and super punch-through immunity as the cell gate length scaled from 180nm to 45nm, which indicates that this new structure is with strong scalability. Furthermore, cell design consideration i.e. ambipolar suppression for the TFET-based flash cell are also investigated and discussed.

Using an auxiliary quantizer before unity-STF SDM, a novel 3rd-order dual-quantizer SDM with extended dynamic range is presented. With hybrid distributed feedback & feedforward paths and an internal feedforward path, a novel low-distortion 3rd-order SDM with simple adder before quantizer is proposed as the unity-STF SDM. Simulations show their perfect immunity to non-idealities.

A curvature-compensation bandgap voltage reference employing current proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) is presented in this paper. In-package trim for the initial accuracy and temperature coefficient is used to get better performance without extra cost. And the principles and realization of the programmable electrical fuse are discussed in detail, which can be widely used. With the curvature compensation method, simulation temperature coefficient of 15ppm/°C over a wide range of •55°C to +125°C and high initial accuracy of better than 0.1% are achieved. Additionally, this bandgap reference has been embedded in a 16-bit ADC implementation.

A 3.1–10.6 GHz ultra-wideband (UWB) 0.18-µm CMOS low-noise amplifier using micromachined inductors is proposed in this paper. This LNA consists of two stages, the first stage is the cascode topology with shunt-series feedback for bandwidth enhancement, and the second stage is the common-source topology with shunt-series feedback for further bandwidth extended. To improve LNA performance in terms of gain and NF, the CMOS compatible micromachined inductors are adopted in this work. By using these techniques, this LNA achieves the 3-dB bandwidth from 3.1–10.6 GHz, and the peak gain is 19 dB. The dc power consumption and lowest noise figure of this LNA is 14.3 mW and 2.4 dB, respectively.
