Noise Parameter Modeling of HEMTs and Nanometer-Scale CMOS Transistors

چکیده
Closed-form expressions for the gateleakage resistance, Rp and its associated noise temperature, Tp, are presented. Tp represents the noise contribution caused by the gate-current Ig. Both Rp and Tp are expressed as functions of the measured noise parameters Rn, Fmin and Zopt. We present both frequency independent expressions and frequency dependent equations and discuss their accuracy. Unique relationships between the measured noise parameters are discussed in addition to the effect on measurement accuracy, careful de-embedding and physical relevance of the model used. Based on this extended threetemperature noise model [1], we show by measurements on HEMTs and 90 nm CMOS transistors, that we can model Rn, Fmin and Zopt very accurately at least up to 26 GHz. In addition, the CMOS model has been verified by S-parameters up to 62.5 GHz.

High leakage current in deep sub-micron regimes is a significant contributor to the power dissipation of CMOS circuits as the CMOS technology scales down. Consequently, the identification and modeling of different leakage components is very important for estimation and reduction of leakage power, especially for low power applications. .

In this paper, an intuitive analysis of a phase noise reduction technique is done, and then a modified structure is proposed to achieve higher phase noise reduction than the original one. This method reduces the impact of noise sources on the phase noise by decreasing closed-loop gain in zero-crossings points and moving this high closed-loop gain to the non-zero-crossings points. This reduction...
