New process modules and device architectures for (sub-) 32 nm CMOS lead to both opportunities and challenges for analog/RF and mm-wave circuit design. A survey will be given describing the advanced process modules and competing architectures (planar bulk CMOS versus FinFETS), and their impact on analog/RF performance. FinFETs will be shown to be better suited for analog baseband design and to have...
There has been significant interest in the applications of printed electronics in the realization of fully-printed RFID tags and embedded sensors. Printing of active circuitry is expected to enable a dramatic reduction in the overall cost of these systems, allowing for integration of electronic barcodes and product quality detection systems into consumer goods. In this talk, I will review our work...
FinFET technology presents a competitive alternative to planar CMOS as it features a better control of the short channel effects. This results in improved digital and analog performances. The radio-frequency (RF) behavior is however affected by a large level of parasitics. In this paper, we explain how technological options and device design affect the FinFET performance. In addition, the challenges...
CMOS downscaling in the nanoscale era will necessitate drastic changes to the planar bulk CMOS transistor to keep pace with the required speed increase while at the same time maintaining acceptable performance in terms of leakage, variability and analog parameters such as gain, noise and linearity. For the gate electrode and the gate dielectric, which classically use polysilicon and with some amount...
