As relevant examples of the inherent complexities associated with such “device-to-circuit interactions” within the SiGe world, I examine two distinct scenarios: 1) Our ability to accurately predict the end-of-life reliability of actual SiGe HBT circuits; and 2) Our ability to mitigate transient radiation effects in SiGe HBT circuits. In each example, I address the scope of the problem, the challenges faced in trying to solve them, and the opportunities presented if and when that success comes.","PeriodicalId":423269,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Bipolar/BiCMOS Circuits and Technology Meeting (BCTM)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122611981","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 comparison is made in the same technology node and under similar design conditions (bias current, supply voltage, class of operation and silicon area). Moreover, slow wave coplanar waveguides (S-CPW) were used for matching network in order to reduce the impact of the passive components on the overall performances. Measurement results prove the superiority of bipolar PA in terms of power gain (8.2 dB against 5.5 dB for MOS), and power added efficiency (PAE) (16 % against 12 % for MOS). The output compression point (OCP1db) and saturation power (Psat) (7 dBm and 10 dBm respectively) are similar for both amplifiers. These results are clarified through a brief theoretical study. To our best knowledge, the presented bipolar PA has the highest figure of merit (FOM) when compared to the state of art of single stage, common source, class-A, 60 GHz power amplifiers.","PeriodicalId":423269,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Bipolar/BiCMOS Circuits and Technology Meeting (BCTM)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122658838","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}

One approach is to replace the silicon channel with nanoparticles - for example, carbon nanotubes - that offer higher performance and better scaling potential. However, the incorporation of nanoparticles requires the development of new “bottom up” fabrication techniques to grow or place particles at precise locations on a substrate. The inherent randomness of these assembly processes has an obvious impact on device yield, which must be taken into account in optimizing the layout of a device. Here we describe a simple statistical analysis of device yield that can give insight into the self-assembly process, and is particularly useful for characterizing nanoparticle self-assembly from solution.","PeriodicalId":423269,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Bipolar/BiCMOS Circuits and Technology Meeting (BCTM)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127366291","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}
