We propose Multi Gate Oxide - Dual Work-Function (MGO-DWF)-MOSFET which is suitable for low power AB-class RF power amplifier (RF PA). This was examined for the first time by comparing with a standard Cascode connection circuitry composed of LV- and HVMOSFETs. Dramatically improved F MAX (150 GHz) with sufficient drain break-down voltage (V BD ) was experimentally confirmed in a practical device structure. MGO-DWF-MOSFET has multiple roles in a unit device such as LV-MOSFET in source side regions and HV-MOSFET in drain side regions. This distinctive structure enables the reduction of the device area and a gate capacitance (C G ) with a higher transconductance (G M ) and the suppression of drain conductance (G DS ). Enhancement of F MAX , in other words, DC operation current reduction is achieved at a given operation point. This indicates that MGO-DWF MOSFET is advantageous for low power amplifier circuitry applications, typically for RF PA in internet of things (IoT) products.

Optimization of circuit performance and cost generally involves a trade-off between a) circuit design and die area efficiency plus shortest time to market with b) maintaining production efficiency of multiple process variants with multiple component lists. Key technology drivers were identified and redesigned in the LBC6 generation power BiCMOS process described herein to achieve a 40% die area reduction for the huge 20 V and below power IC application market. In this paper, we discuss components and their design, generic process flow, and reasoning.

A 30 V, 0.5 /spl mu/m, triple level metal (TLM) + thick top copper metal, power-BiCMOS technology for Hard Disk Drive (HDD) servo applications is described. Based on a die area analysis, a vital few components and process features were optimized over the prior-generation process, resulting in a 40% die size reduction for typical products. Insight into this optimization effort is provided.

In this paper, for the first time we compare 1/f noise in both complementary bipolar and complementary MOSFET transistors fabricated on thick film bonded SOI with full dielectric isolation capability. For MOS devices, a new relationship for 1/f noise is given which allows intuitive insight when comparing technologies. Both bipolar and MOS transistors show agreement to a number fluctuation model for noise mechanisms. A factor of 2 lower 1/f noise is determined for the PNP in comparison to NPN transistors. For this technology generation, bipolar transistors indicate an order of magnitude lower noise level when compared to MOSFETs under similar drive currents and effective area conditions. Finally, we discuss generation recombination noise, which can be observed in some of the devices.

The effects of through-gate oxide implantation on gate oxide integrity (GOI) and defect density have been investigated. It is observed that through-gate implants can reduce the off-state leakage current by 1 to 2 orders, giving the same V/sub t/ value, and can maintain much tighter V/sub t/ spread control without sacrificing the GOI and yield performance. These attractive advantages make the through-gate oxide implant process a promising candidate for high speed, low power applications.

In this work, performance advances are featured for new and improved multi voltage rated (16 V to 60 V) LDMOS. Performance improvements were achieved by leveraging off of (1) an optimized off-set, photo aligned, coimplanted double-diffused well (DWL), (2) two n-type dopings in the drift region, and (3) shrink from 1.0 /spl mu/m to 0.72 /spl mu/m. The R/sub sp/ vs. BV/sub dss/ trend for these devices is the best reported to date for conventional lateral technology: @V/sub gs/=12.75 V (3 MV/cm) R/sub sp/=0.95 m/spl Omega/ cm/sup 2/, BV=69.3 V; R/sub sp/=0.68 m/spl Omega/ cm/sup 2/, BV=50.0 V; R/sub sp/=0.45 m/spl Omega/ cm/sup 2/, BV=33.0 V; R/sub sp/=0.36 m/spl Omega/ cm/sup 2/, BV=19.0 V; for 60, 40, 25, and 16 V rated conventional LDMOS devices.
