Abstract

In this work, a new method for extracting substrate parameters of RF MOSFETs based on 3-port measurement is presented using device simulation. A T-type substrate resistance network is used. 3-port Y-parameter analyses were performed on the equivalent circuit of RF MOSFETs. All the components in the RF MOSFETs when the device is turned off were extracted directly from the 3-port device simulation data. The small-signal output admittance $Y_{22}$ can be well modeled up to 40 GHz. From the 3-port simulation and modeling results, it was verified that the proposed equivalent circuit and parameter extraction method was more accurate than the single substrate resistance model.
