We show that the free carriers injected in the diode intrinsic channel induce a frequency dependent complex permittivity of the silicon substrate that is responsible for the frequency behaviour of the PIN diode capacitance. Moreover, no adjustable parameter is required in this model as all the required parameters can be easily measured.","PeriodicalId":288561,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers. 2004 Topical Meeting onSilicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems, 2004.","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130956269","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}
