摘要: The latest evolution in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology has made the field effect transistor (MOSFET) a viable choice for rf applications, especially frequencies low GHz region. However, hot-carrier effects should also be considered carefully when devices are operating regime. Here, we studied of dc stress on lightly doped drain (LDD) n-type MOSFET (NMOSFET) high-frequency performance by measuring and simulating its s parameters. This is first time, to authors’ best knowledge, that such experiments reported. We demonstrated clearly stressing LDD NMOSFETs giving representative s-parameter noise measurement results from 0.8 μm long device. showed can significantly degrade both parameters NMOSFETs, thus have considerable consequences circuit designers. Therefore, these when...
