Abstract
Channel hot-electron degradations on strained MOSFETs are examined experimentally. The stressed model parameters are used in SpectreRF simulation to investigate the impact of stress time on dual-band power amplifier and mixer-LNA performances. Electrical stress decreases power-added efficiency of dual-band PA and increases noise figure of integrated mixer-low noise amplifier.
