A scalable advanced RF IC design-oriented MOSFET model

Abstract: This article presents a validation of the EKV3 MOSFET compact model dedicated to the design of analogue/RF ICs using advanced CMOS technology. The EKV3 model is compared with DC, CV and RF measurements up to 20 GHz of a 110 nm CMOS technology. The scaling behaviour over a large range of channel lengths and bias conditions is presented. Long-channel devices show significant non-quasi static effects while in short-channel devices the parasitics modelling is critical. This is illustrated with Y-parameters and f t… Show more

“…An RF compact model should predict the electrical behaviour of MOS devices over a large range of frequency, geometry and bias. Former work showed the EKV3 model application on 180nm, 110nm, 90nm CMOS technologies, mostly in the frequency range up to 20 GHz. In the present work, the EKV3 compact model is presented up to millimetre‐wave frequencies, for the TSMC 90 nm RF LP process.…”

“…A compact model should predict the electrical behavior of MOS devices over a large range of frequency, geometry, and bias. Former work showed the EKV3 model's validity up to 30 GHz, for 110 [116] and 180 nm [115] CMOS processes. In this thesis, the EKV3 compact model is presented for RF FoM essential for RFIC design, with respect to inversion level.…”

“…For maximum gain to occur, source and load impedances should be matched, that is: Y S = Y * 11 and Y G = Y * 22 . U can be derived via Y-, Z-, or H-parameters in a similar way [115,116]. f max can then be calculated according to (4.21).…”
