摘要: This paper discusses the concept of inversion coefficient IC as an essential design parameter that spans entire range operating points, from weak, via moderate, to strong inversion. Several figures-of-merit (FoMs) including Gm/ID, Ft and their product Gm/ID · are presented modelled in terms IC, effect velocity saturation. These FoMs incorporate various trade-offs encountered analog RF circuit design. The simplicity IC-based analytical models is emphasized by favorable comparison against measurements commercial 40- 28-nm bulk CMOS processes, well with simulations using BSIM6 model.
