Experimental analysis of substrate isolation techniques for RF-SOC integration

Abstract: This paper introduce the Nonuniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) surfaces to improve the geometric modeling of the Locally Corrected Nystro¨m (LCN) Method. Compared with the interpolation curvilinear quadrilaterals, the NURBS surfaces can approximate the model with higher accuracy and by much less elements. Thus, the size of the elements can be more flexibly chosen to fully exert the efficiency of the LCN method. Numerical results of the radar cross sections (RCS) show the validity of the proposed technique.

“…Protection structures, such as inductor shields or substrate guard rings, can then be used [4] to increase the isolation between the inductor and the substrate. The effectiveness of the protection structures at high frequency is highly limited by the impedance of the noise return path to ground [2], [10], thus, especial care should be taken when designing the connection of the protection structures to ground.…”

“…The potential efficacy of different isolation techniques was evaluated measuring several test structures implemented in the same die. Figure 7 shows the measured isolation provided by different protection structures (P+ Ring, N+ Ring, and Triple Well) between two P+ substrate square contacts with a 10 × 10 μm 2 area and separated by 50 μm up to 40 GHz [12]. According to these measurements, a grounded P+ guard ring can provide 20 dB of isolation at 5 GHz.…”

“…The effectiveness of all these noise sinking protection techniques is highly limited at high frequency by the impedance of the noise return path to ground [2, 12], thus, especial care must be taken when designing the connection of the protection structures to ground. In our case, all the protection structures have been connected to a dedicated ground plane with several output pads to provide a low impedance path to take the high‐frequency substrate noise away from the circuit.…”

“…Moreover, most of the typical measures to isolate the sensitive blocks from HFSN lose their efficacy or are difficult to implement in the mmW band. For example, the isolation provided by protection structures, such as guard rings or wells, is reduced as the frequency increases beyond the RF range due to the difficulty of sinking noise to a clean ground [8], [9]. Very little work has been done on the robustness to HFSN of LC-VCOs oscillating in the mmW band or about the efficiency of shielding techniques in this frequency range.…”
