Abstract

In this work, RF performance degradation due to hot carrier effects in SOI MOSFET have been measured and analyzed. The LNA that designed at $V_{GS}=0.8V$, f=2.5GHz, gain is 16.51dB and noise figure is 1.195dB. After stress at SOI, the LNA's gain and noise figure change of 15.3dB and 1.44dB with before stress.

본 연구에서는 SOI MOSFET를 hot carrier 현상에 의한 RF 성능 저하를 측정 분석하였다. $V_{GS}=0.8V$, f=2.5GHz에서 설계되어 진 LNA의 이득은 16.51dB이고 잡음지수는 1.195dB였다. SOI에서 스트레스 후에는 LNA의 이득과 잡음지수가 스트레스전보다 각각 15.3dB, 1.44dB로 변화하였다.
