  • A substrate noise coupling model for lightly doped CMOS processes

    Creator:
    Sadate, Aline C.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a design-oriented model for lightly doped CMOS substrates. The model predicts the substrate noise coupling between noisy digital and sensitive analog blocks in the early stages of the design. The model scales with the size and separation of these blocks and it is validated with device simulations...

  • Automated analysis, design, and optimization of low noise oscillators

    Creator:
    Vytyaz, Igor
    Abstract:
    Low noise oscillators are universally needed in digital systems for clock generation and synchronization, and in radio-frequency communication front-ends for frequency up- and down-conversion. Noise in oscillators results in timing jitter, and limits the clock frequency of digital systems. In radio-frequency communication systems, phase noise in oscillators lowers the signal-to-noise...

  • A test fixture and deembedding procedure for high-frequency substrate characterization

    Creator:
    Webb, Kyle M.
    Abstract:
    At frequencies exceeding 1-2 GHz, the substrate network models used in substrate coupling simulation must account for the reactive nature of the substrate. Unlike at low frequencies, where the purely resistive substrate models can be validated through DC resistance measurements, these high-frequency models, comprising reactive components, must be validated through...
