Rananelli","doi":"10.1109/SMIC.2008.22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SMIC.2008.22","url":null,"abstract":"The impact of substrate parasitic effects on the power gain relation between the CE and CB configurations of low-power SiGe HBTs has been analyzed. In comparison to large-area power SiGe HBTs, the speed and small-signal power gain of the device are much higher. Nevertheless, the relative parasitic effects on these small devices are much stronger than that on the large ones. It is found that due to the influence of substrate parasitic effects (input and output coupling between input and output pads), the power gain of CB SiGe HBTs can be dramatically degraded, while the power gain of CE SiGe HBTs is not affected much. The consequence of the different influences of parasitic effects on CE and CB SiGe HBTs is that the intrinsic higher power gain of the CB SiGe HBT than the CE device is lost, which is verified by measurements. Based on the detailed analysis of the substrate parasitic effects, an approach to restoring the superior power gain characteristics of CB SiGe HBTs is proposed.","PeriodicalId":350325,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123615377","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}

As an alternative to lossy passive spiral inductors, several active inductor topologies have been reported elsewhere which promise higher quality factors and small size. Using transistor level simulation, this paper considers two fundamental active inductor topologies with particular focus on their robustness with regard to variation with process, voltage and temperature. Simulation results reveal that these active inductors suffer significant variation in both realized inductance value and quality factor particularly as a function of transistor variability. The effects of this variability in active inductor performance are highlighted through simulation of their use in a lumped element Wilkinson power divider realized with active inductors.","PeriodicalId":350325,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127686643","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 this technique, chips with any thickness can be used. Using sidewall metallization of cavities in an interposer substrate, truly grounded Faraday-cage structures are realized. The simulation and measurement results show that a high-resistivity silicon substrate can suppress the substrate noise by more than 60dB for the frequency of less than 1 GHz. For the frequency range of 1GHz to 25GHz, using the grounded Faraday-cage, the isolation can be improved to less than -60dB. For the low-resistivity silicon substrate, the substrate coupling is worse than the high-resistivity Si, however, using sidewall metallization, the isolation can be improved to below -60dB. To our knowledge, these are the best values reported for isolation improvement of thick silicon substrates and chips using a very thin layer of metallization.","PeriodicalId":350325,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115846468","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 this paper, we demonstrate the integration of ultra-miniaturized cavities on the thin-film multi-chip module technology (MCM-D) by using through-substrate vias on 100 mum thick high-resistivity silicon (HRSi) wafers. Having HRSi as filling material, the proposed cavities are 3.4 times smaller than air filled cavities. Being integrated cavities, no assembly step is needed, which is an advantage as compared to air filled cavities where wafer stacking is required. The influence of leakage through the via fences is studied in detail showing that having a via diameter of 100 mum, and a pitch of 220 mum, one via row is enough to eliminate radiation at 29 GHz, but at 60 GHz 2 via rows are necessary. Additionally, this study shows that the probe feeding mechanism used in this work is very effective and does not lead to any leakage. Second-order filters using integrated cavities are demonstrated at 29 GHz and 60 GHz yielding low losses and a highly accurate center frequency prediction the first time that the filters were manufactured. Being able to implement small and high-quality components, the proposed technology is a viable platform for the implementation of commercial millimeter-wave components.","PeriodicalId":350325,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129688356","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}
