The basic device structure is described and the load pull test setup was put up to evaluate its RF performance. Moreover, the Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) issue is suppressed to a negligible level (less than 5% over the extrapolated 20 years). The broadband property is investigated by characterizing the device's RF performance at 1GHz and also at a range among 2.3 to 2.5 GHz. The transducer gain and efficiency are greatly improved which is consistent with trend indicated by the small signal S parameter test result. The RF test results show us a broadband S band RF LDMOS transistor with excellent performance.","PeriodicalId":333267,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference of Electron Devices and Solid-state Circuits","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114909351","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 serial peripheral interface (SPI) can be used to adjust the sampling frequency and the OSR in order to change the dynamic power consumption and then ADC's dynamic performance could be changed. Besides, the key block's bias current could be minimized in order to save the static power according to the specific application. The design was fabricated in a 0.13 μm CMOS process with an area of 0.91 mm2 and a power of 5.2 mW.

It is found that lowering the oxygen concentration in the a-IGZO sputtering ambient can effectively improve the device performance, including carrier mobility (μsat), threshold voltage (Vth), sub-threshold slope (SS) and on-off current ratio (Ion/Ioff). Moreover, the hysteresis (ΔVH) of the transfer characteristics of the device under forward and reverse sweepings of gate bias voltage can be suppressed, and improvement on its low-frequency noise properties has been found for lower oxygen concentration in the sputtering ambient. As a result, a high saturation mobility of 12.5 cm2/Vs, a low sub-threshold slope of 0.260 V/dec and a small Hooge's parameter (αH) of 0.4 have been achieved for the sample with an Ar/O2 ratio of 24 sccm/1 sccm. All these improvements can be ascribed to the fact that more oxygen vacancies exist in the a-IGZO film deposited in an ambient with less oxygen. These positively-charged oxygen vacancies can induce a higher electron concentration in the a-IGZO film and thus fill up more electron traps at the interface between a-IGZO and HtLaO.","PeriodicalId":333267,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference of Electron Devices and Solid-state Circuits","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121540026","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}
