  • Layout dependent and bias independent scalable substrate model for RF MOSFETs

    Creator:
    Suravarapu, Ravikanth
    Abstract:
    The dependence of the substrate resistance, R[subscript sub], for MOS transistor RF modeling on transistor biasing and layout is studied from device simulations and measurements. Though R[subscript sub] is found to be bias dependent, the error incurred by assuming a constant value equal to the DC resistance is not significant....

  • 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...

  • Hot carrier degradation of sub-micron n-channel MOSFETs subject to static stress

    Creator:
    Aminzadeh, Payman G.
    Abstract:
    Hot carrier effects in sub-micron lightly doped drain (LDD) n-channel MOSFETs under static (DC) stress are studied in order to establish the degradation mechanisms of such devices. Degradation is monitored as a function of time at various gate voltages. Under accelerated aging conditions (i.e. large drain voltages) the gate voltage...

  • MOSFET-only predictive track and hold circuit

    Creator:
    Qiu, Xiangping
    Abstract:
    High-accuracy and high-speed CMOS track-and-hold (T/H) or sample-and-hold (S/H) circuits are an important part of the analog-to-digital interface. The switched-capacitor (SC) circuits usually contain one or more op-amps whose dc offset, finite gain, finite bandwidth have a big impact on the accuracy of the track-and-hold circuit. Basic correlated double sampling...

  • Reliability and hot-electron effects in analog and mixed-mode circuits

    Creator:
    Ge, David Ying
    Abstract:
    Reliability of sub-micron analog circuits is directly related to impact ionization and the subsequent changes in threshold voltage and drain current of n-MOSFET devices. This thesis presents theory of the hot-electron effects on the device characteristics and circuit performance, explores several approaches to improve performance at both the device and...

  • Analytical model of GaAs MESFET output conductance with frequency and temperature dependent parameters

    Creator:
    Lam, Steven C. F.
    Abstract:
    The output characteristics of a conventional GaAs depletion-mode MESFET device have been investigated. One of the important parameters of the small-signal GaAs MESFET model, g[subscript ds] (output conductance), is shown to be frequency and temperature dependent. Variations in g[subscript ds] are a serious problem in many analog and digital circuits...

    Creator:
    Peng, Lan L.
    Abstract:
    GaAs MESFETs are widely used in high speed integrated circuits (ICs) and microwave circuits. Due to the materials and processing methods used in GaAs MESFET fabrication, deep level traps in the substrate materials have a strong influence on device performance. In this work we used the drain current transient characterization...

    Abstract:
    The characteristic of the subthreshold current in a GaAs MESFET exhibits a negative exponential function with Vgs. After studying the behavior of this current in this region over a range of temperature and drain bias voltages, a subthreshold current model was developed. The model was implemented in a circuit simulation...
