RF CMOS Modeling Using UTMOST III AC (S-Parameter) Module

Introduction

This article presents a high frequency SPICE model parameter extraction method for CMOS devices. Current compact MOS models are developed for low frequency applications and provide good fits for DC, conductances and intrinsic capacitances. However for the gigahertz frequency range external components have to be modeled and added to the compact model as macro model elements. The macro model presented in this article provides good results up to 10 GHz.
