Recently, small signal modeling of CMOS device becomes more difficult because the design rule goes into deep submicron. De-embedding of substrate parameters is important in order to use CMOS devices at RF frequencies. In this paper, we suggest a new de-embedding model with refined physical meaning and accuracy. In GaAs IC’s, the substrate is almost an insulator but Si substrate has the semiconducting characteristics. It offers some troubles if it is treated like GaAs substrate. The conducting substrate is modeled with five resistances, which leads to very accurate modeling so long as the pad layout is symmetrical. Frequency range is up to 39㎓ and fitting accuracy is as small as 0.00037 on least square errors.

Infrared (IR) filters were developed to implement integrated three-dimensional (3D) image sensors that are capable of obtaining both color image and depth information at the same time. The combination of light filters applicable to the 3D image sensor is composed of a modified IR cut filter mounted on the objective lens module and on-chip filters such as IR pass filters and color filters. The IR cut filters were fabricated by inorganic $SiO_2/TiO_2$ multilayered thin-film deposition using RF magnetron sputtering. On-chip IR pass filters were synthetized by dissolving various pigments and dyes in organic solvents and by subsequent patterning with photolithography. The fabrication process of the filters is fairly compatible with the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. Thus, the IR cut filter and IR pass filter combined with conventional color filters are considered successfully applicable to 3D image sensors.

This paper presents a switch type 2.4/5.8 GHz dual band low-noise amplifier, designed with $0.13{\mu}m$ RF CMOS technology. Using MOS switch allows the LNA to have two different input transconductance and output capacitance modes. Given supply voltage of 1.2 V, the simulation exhibits gains of 8.1 dB and 17.1 dB, noise figures of 3.1 dB and 2.57 dB and power consumptions of 13.0 mW and 10.2 mW at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, respectively.

Recently, the rapid growth of mobile radio system has led to an increasing demand of low-cost high performance communication IC's. In this paper, we have designed RF front end for wireless LAN receiver employ zero-IF architecture. A low-noise amplifier (LNA) and double-balanced mixer is included in a front end. The zero-IF architecture is easy to integrate and good for low power consumption, so that is coincided to requirement of wireless LAN. But the zero-IF architecture has a serious problem of large offset. Image-reject mixer is a good structure to solve offset problem. Using offset compensation circuit is good structure, too. The front end is implemented in 0.25 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The front end has a noise figure of 5.6 dB, a power consumption of 16 mW and total gain of 22 dB.

본 논문에서는 양극반응과 복합 산화법($H_2O/O_2$ 분위기에서 $500^{\circ}C$, 1시간 열산화와 $1050^{\circ}C$, 2분간 RTO(Rapid Thermal Oxidation) 공정)을 이용한 두꺼운 OPSL(Oxidized Porous Silicon Layer)을 형성하여 이를 마이크로머시닝 기술을 이용함으로써 $10\;{\mu}m$ 두께의 OPS(Oxidized Porous Silicon) 에어 브리지를 제조하고, 그 위에 전송선로를 형성하여 그 RF 특성을 조사하였다. OPS 에어 브리지 위에 형성된 CPW(Coplanar Waveguide)의 손실이 OPSL 위에 형성된 전송선의 삽입손실보다 약 2dB 정도 적은 것을 보여주었으며, 반사손실은 OPSL 위에 형성된 전송선의 반사손실보다 적으며 약 -20 dB를 넘지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서 개발한 산화된 다공질 실리콘 멤브레인 및 에어 브리지 구조는 CMOS 공정 후에 사용 가능하며, 초고주파 회로 설계시 편리성과 유용성을 제시하고 있다.

저 잡음 증폭기는 RF 수신단의 필수적인 요소이며, 다양한 무선시스템에서 사용하기 위하여 넓은 주파수 범위에서 동작하도록 요구된다. 전압 이득, 반사 손실, 잡음 지수, 선형성과 같은 중요한 성능지표들을 신중히 다루어서, 제안하는 LNA의 주요한 성능으로 역할을 하게끔 한다. Buffer 단에서 peaking 인덕터를 사용하며 전체적으로 cascade 구조로써 inductive shunt feedback을 LNA 입력 단에 성공적으로 적용하였다. 광대역 정합 주파수를 얻기 위한 설계식은 상대적으로 간단한 회로구성을 통해 도출된다. 입력 임피던스의 주파수 응답 분석을 위하여 pole과 zero를 광대역 응답을 실현하기 위한 특성으로 기술하였다. 입력 단에 게이트와 드레인 사이의 인덕터는 출력의 3차 고조파를 감소시킴으로 선형성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다. 제안하는 회로를 $0.18{\mu}m$의 CMOS 공정으로 제작하였고, Pad를 포함한 광대역 LNA의 칩 면적은 $0.202mm^2$이다. 측정 결과는 1.5~13 GHz에서 입력손실은 -7 dB 이하이고, 전압 이득은 8 dB 이상이며, 잡음 지수는 6~9 dB 정도이다. 그리고 IIP3는 8 GHz에서 2.5 dBm이며, 1.8 V 전압에서 14 mA 전류를 소모한다.

The origin of the phenomena, obstructing circuit performance in the RF operating regime, as well as their modeling will be discussed. The applied surface-potential-based modeling allows self-consistent description of all phenomena important for accurate circuit simulation, as demonstrated with the MOSFET model HiSIM.

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..

A noble single-ended input, double-balanced mixer topology is proposed. The mixer incorporates the common-source amplifier input stage with inductive degeneration for impedance matching. The analysis based on simulations shows that the overall performance of the mixer is excellent and is adjustable by varying the input transistor size to give best characteristics for the given linearity specifications.
