Abstract

RF linearity of double-gate MOSFETs is investigated using accurate two-dimensional simulations. The linearity has been analyzed using the Talyor series. Transconductance is dominant nonlinear source of CMOS. It is shown that DGMOSFET linearity can be improved by a careful optimization of channel thickness, gate oxide thickness, gate length, overlap length and channel doping concentration. The minimum $P_{IP3}$ data are compared in each case. It is shown that DG-MOSFET linearity can be improved by a careful optimization of channel thickness, gate oxide thickness, gate length, overlap length and channel doping concentration..
