  • Ultra low capacitance RFIC probe

    Creator:
    Jacob, Michael E.
    Abstract:
    In Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) or high frequency digital ICs, there is a demand to probe the internal nodes for testing. The ultra low capacitance RFIC probe presented in his work is a flexible tool for these applications. The probe utilizes the coupling between a tungsten needle and the...

  • Suppression of substrate noise in a mixed-signal CMOS integrated circuit

    Creator:
    Lim, Wei Tjan (Richard)
    Abstract:
    Substrate switching noise is becoming a concern as integrated circuits get larger and speeds get faster. Mixed-mode integrated circuits are especially affected as the substrate noise interferes with sensitive analog circuits resulting in limited signal to noise ratios. This thesis serves to study the cause of the noise at the...

  • Hot electron effects in N-channel MOSFET's

    Creator:
    Or, Siu-shun Burnette
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this work is to develop a new model for LDD n-MOSFET degradation in drain current under long-term AC use conditions for lifetime projection which includes a self-limiting effect in the hot-electron induced device degradation. Experimental results on LDD n-channel MOSFETs shows that the maximum drain current degradation...

  • Low frequency 1/f noise of p-MOS, bipolar and lateral bipolar transistors

    Creator:
    Cheng, Mark
    Abstract:
    This thesis deals with 1/f noise in p-MOS, bipolar, and lateral bipolar transistors. Experimental measurements determine the appropriate 1/f noise for MOSFET's, bipolar transistors and lateral bipolar transistors. The literature on 1/f noise in p-MOSFETs, bipolar transistors and lateral bipolar transistors is reviewed. The two main sources of low frequency...

  • Comparison and analysis of jitter in CMOS ring oscillators

    Creator:
    Natesan, Peroly
    Abstract:
    A comparison and analysis of jitter for five different architectures of ring oscillators using a novel simulation technique developed by Professor Forbes' group is presented. Ring oscillators have become an essential building block in many digital and synchronous communications system due to their integrated nature and are widely used in...
