We propose a novel circuit-level technique using a triple feedback loop to optimize simultaneously gain, bandwidth and impedance matching without the penalty of added DC power dissipation. The circuit has been fabricated using a 130 nm silicon-germanium (SiGe) bipolar CMOS (BiCMOS) technology. The LNA has a peak gain of 9.3 dB, a minimum noise figure of 4.6 dB and an input compression point (IP1dB) higher than −9.9 dBm. It consumes only 5.4 mW using a single 1.5 V supply voltage, while working over a bandwidth from 14 to 58 GHz and occupying an area of $mathbf{0.6}times mathbf{0.48} mathbf{mm}^{2}$ including pads.","PeriodicalId":272808,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130797908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GaN LED and III-V HEMT platforms are earliest to develop and driven by currently anticipated market needs. The developed process flow involves conventional 200mm CMOS front-end processing in a CMOS foundry, merging the CMOS wafer with a III-V/Si wafer, processing III-V devices in a silicon fabrication environment, and final interconnection via returning the wafer to a CMOS foundry for back-end interconnection. III-V+CMOS silicon ICs are designed in a Cadence environment using foundry PDKs modified with insertion of the integrated III-V device models. The overall method described above is invariant for the different III-V's that are integrated into silicon ICs.

The single output PA produces approximately 40 W of output power over the 27.5 - 29.5 GHz band and greater than 30W over the 26.5 - 31 GHz band with greater than 20 % PAE. A balanced PA architecture is selected resulting in return losses greater than 15 dB in fixture. The PA exhibits less than 0.3 dB power droop over a 5 ms pulse width. Design choices minimizing the performance degradation due to process variation are discussed. A dual output PA integrated with an input SPDT switch and output isolation circuitry is also detailed. This variant allowing the output signal to be routed to one of two selectable outputs without requiring large output switch devices is presented with preliminary measured results.","PeriodicalId":272808,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125023696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical analysis using a simplified transistor model was carried out. As a result, we have demonstrated that the limiting factor for $mathbf{class}-mathbf{F}^{-1}$ operation is the gate-diode conduction rather than knee voltage. On the other hand, class-F PA is restricted by the knee voltage effects. Furthermore, nonlinear measurements carried out on a GaN HEMT support our analytical results.","PeriodicalId":272808,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121792724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several expensive and bulky laser or III-V semiconductor based solutions have been employed for THz systems. However, over the last decade, there has been a tremendous research into the design of THz integrated circuits in commercial silicon CMOS and SiGe HBT BiCMOS process technologies. Silicon based systems primarily benefit from the mixed signal integration capabilities of the technology, which enable a new set of possibilities and applications in the THz domain. In this paper, we review the current status of THz integrated circuits. We discuss trends in silicon based THz sources and receivers, as well as different THz on-chip systems that have been reported so far for different application areas.","PeriodicalId":272808,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115509697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the receiver, low noise amplifier (LNA) is followed by a passive double balanced down conversion mixer and baseband amplifier; in the transmitter, an active Gilbert cell IQ modulator is followed by a driver amplifier. The 140 GHz local oscillator (LO) is generated by a $times 9$ multiplier. The measured receiver conversion gain is 18 dB with a 12 GHz 3-dB bandwidth; a narrowband 145 GHz gain notch, unfortunately, limits the usable bandwidth. 3-dB modulation bandwidth of the transmitter is 6–8 GHz.

It is shown that in the case of double passivation layers, the breakdown voltage is enhanced significantly as compared to the case of SiN single passivation layer when comparing at the same insulator thickness. This is because the electric field around the drain edge of gate is weakened. However, it is lowered remarkably as compared to the case with a high- $k$ single passivation layer even if the first SiN layer is rather thin. Also, in the case of double passivation layers, the breakdown voltage is shown to become close to the case with high- $k$ passivation layer when the relative permittivity of the second passivation layer becomes high and the SiN layer is thin.","PeriodicalId":272808,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128069819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
