scholarly journals Review of CMOS Amplifiers for High Frequency Applications

The headway in electronics technology proffers user-friendly devices. The characteristics such as high integration, low power consumption, good noise immunity are the significant benefits that CMOS offer, paying many challenges simultaneously with it. The short channel effects and presence of parasitic which prevent speed pose questions on the performance parameters. A great sort of works has done by many groups in the design of the CMOS amplifier for high-frequency applications to discuss the parameters such as power consumption, high bandwidth, high speed and linearity trade-off to obtain an optimized output. A lot of amplifier topologies are experimented and discussed in the literature with its design and simulation. In this paper, the various efforts associated with CMOS amplifier circuit for high-frequency applications are studying extensively.

ABSTRACTWe report on our progress on the fabrication of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with extremely short gate length. AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with different gate length from 6 νm down to 60nm were fabricated to investigate DC- and high frequency behavior as well as short channel effects. We have found that the transistors with gates in the 100 nm range can be improved in the device performance with respect to transconductance and high frequency but shows also short channel effects as the loss of saturation in the output characteristics and a strong dependency of the threshold voltage on the gate length.

In recent years, demands for high speed and low power circuits have been raised. As conventional metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) are unable to satisfy the demands due to short channel effects, the purpose of the study is to design an alternative of MOSFETs. Graphene FETs are one of the alternatives of MOSFETs due to the excellent properties of graphene material. In this work, a user-defined graphene material is defined, and a graphene channel FET is implemented using the Silvaco technology computer-aided design (TCAD) tool at 100 nm and scaled to 20 nm channel length. A silicon channel MOSFET is also implemented to compare the performance. The results show the improvement in subthreshold slope (SS) = 114 mV/dec, ION/IOFF ratio = 14379, and drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) = 123 mV/V. It is concluded that graphene FETs are suitable candidates for low power applications.

In this paper, a new structure, step–linear doping MOSCNT (SLD-MOSCNT), is proposed to improve the performance of basic MOSCNTs. The basic structure suffers from band to band tunneling (BTBT). We show that using SLD profile for source and drain regions increases the horizontal distance between valence and conduction bands at gate to source/drain junction which reduces BTBT probability. SLD performance is compared with other similar structures which have recently been proposed to reduce BTBT such as MOSCNT with lightly-doped drain and source (LDDS), and with double-light doping in source and drain regions (DLD). The obtained results using a nonequilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) method show that the SLD-MOSCNT has the lowest leakage current, power consumption and delay time, and the highest current ratio and voltage gain. The ambipolar conduction in the proposed structure is very low and can be neglected. In addition, these structures can improve short-channel effects. Also, the investigation of cutoff frequency of the different structures shows that the SLD has the highest cutoff frequency. Device performance has been investigated for gate length from 8 to 20 nm which demonstrates all discussions regarding the superiority of the proposed structure are also valid for different channel lengths. This improvement is more significant especially for channel length less than 12 nm. Therefore, the SLD can be considered as a candidate to be used in the applications with high speed and low power consumption.

Submicron 4H-SiC MOSFETs are attractive for high frequency operation of 4H-SiC integrated circuits. However, the short channel effects, such as threshold voltage lowering, would be induced at the short-channel devices. In this work, short channel effects were investigated with planar and trench 4H-SiC MOSFETs, and the suppression of the short channel effect with the trench structure was achieved.


This paper discuss designing of low power, high-speed 10-Transistor (10T) SRAM and analysis of SRAM cell in Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) and FinFET technology. MOSFET is used widely in many areas, but below 40 nm technology control of channel region becomes extremely difficult. So there is a necessity for new innovative technology which allows designers to design below 40nm technology and can offer excellent control over gate thus reducing short channel effects. The designing of SRAM is analyzed using TANNER EDA tool and Microwind.

SiC MESFETs were scaled both laterally and vertically to optimize high frequency and high power performance. Two types of epi-stacks of SiC MESFETs were fabricated and measured. The first type has a doping of 3×1017 cm-3 in the channel and the second type has higher doping (5×1017 cm-3) in the channel. The higher doping allows the channel to be thinner for the same current density and therefore a reduction of the aspect ratio is possible. This could impede short channel effects. For the material with higher channel doping the maximum transconductance is 58 mS/mm. The maximum current gain frequency, fT, and maximum frequency of oscillation, fmax, is 9.8 GHz and 23.9 GHz, and 12.4 GHz and 28.2 GHz for the MESFET with lower doped channel and higher doping, respectively.
