Design Of Analog Cmos Integrated Circuits

This tutorial presents an overview of the technological advances in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) circuit components, antennas, and propagation that will soon allow 60-GHz transceivers to provide multigigabit per second (multi-Gb/s) wireless communication data transfers in the consumer marketplace. Our goal is to help engineers understand the convergence of communications, circuits, and antennas, as the emerging world of subterahertz and terahertz wireless communications will require understanding at the intersections of these areas. This paper covers trends and recent accomplishments in a wide range of circuits and systems topics that must be understood to create massively broadband wireless communication systems of the future. In this paper, we present some evolving applications of massively broadband wireless communications, and use tables and graphs to show research progress from the literature on various radio system components, including on-chip and in-package antennas, radio-frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs), low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), mixers, and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). We focus primarily on silicon-based technologies, as these provide the best means of implementing very low-cost, highly integrated 60-GHz mm-wave circuits. In addition, the paper illuminates characterization techniques that are required to competently design and fabricate mm-wave devices in silicon, and illustrates effects of the 60-GHz RF propagation channel for both in-building and outdoor use. The paper concludes with an overview of the standardization and commercialization efforts for 60-GHz multi-Gb/s devices, and presents a novel way to compare the data rate versus power efficiency for future broadband devices.

State of the Art in 60-GHz Integrated Circuits and Systems for Wireless Communications

A strain sensor has been fabricated from a polymer nanocomposite with multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) fillers. The piezoresistivity
of this nanocomposite strain sensor has been investigated based on an improved three-dimensional (3D) statistical resistor network
model incorporating the tunneling effect between the neighboring carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and a fiber reorientation model. The
numerical results agree very well with the experimental measurements. As compared with traditional strain gauges, much higher sensitivity
can be obtained in the nanocomposite sensors when the volume fraction of CNT is close to the percolation threshold. For a small
CNT volume fraction, weak nonlinear piezoresistivity is observed both experimentally and from numerical simulation. The tunneling
effect is considered to be the principal mechanism of the sensor under small strains.

Before the emergence of ultra-wideband (UWB) radios, widely used wireless communications were based on sinusoidal carriers, and impulse technologies were employed only in specific applications (e.g. radar). In 2002, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) allowed unlicensed operation between 3.1–10.6 GHz for UWB communication, using a wideband signal format with a low EIRP level (−41.3dBm/MHz). UWB communication systems then emerged as an alternative to narrowband systems and significant effort in this area has been invested at the regulatory, commercial, and research levels.

An intrinsic-tuned, 68 GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) without an extra on-chip accumulation-mode metal oxide semiconductor (MOS)-varactor is demonstrated in a standard, 0.13 mum CMOS technology. This VCO exhibits phase noises of -98.4 dBc/Hz and -115.2 dBc/Hz at 1 and 10 MHz offset, respectively, along with a tuning range of 4.5 % even under a small power consumption of 4.32 mW. Besides, the highest figure-of-merit (taking frequency tuning range into account) of -182 dBc/Hz under the 1 MHz offset condition is achieved among all previously reported >60 GHz CMOS-based VCOs, which is attributed to the proposed intrinsic tuning mechanism.

A 0.6 V, 4.32 mW, 68 GHz Low Phase-Noise VCO With Intrinsic-Tuned Technique in 0.13 $\mu$ m CMOS

A millimeter-wave multiband phase-locked loop (PLL) is presented for the first time, which covers 40-, 60-, and 80-GHz bands. Three voltage-controlled oscillators corresponding to different frequencies are input to a multiband injection-locked frequency divider and switched on one at a time by a multiplexer as a band selector. The feedback loop embraces the following components: a chain of dividers with a fixed division-modulus of 256, a phase-frequency detector, a charge-pump, and a second-order loop filter. The PLL is clocked by a reference frequency of 78 MHz and its output power is higher than -9.5 dBm. The phase noise is -103 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 10 MHz. With a supply voltage of 1.5 V, the entire PLL consumes 114 mW. The chip is implemented in a 90-nm CMOS technology and measures 1.12 mm2.

In this work, a fully integrated DNA detection system-on-a-chip (SoC) was implemented by 0.35 μm commercialized standard CMOS process for label-free and real-time detection of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA. The chip implementation was achieved in the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) 0.35 μm CMOS process. The implemented chip size was 6 mm by 5 mm. It included microcantilever DNA sensors, readout circuits, a microcontroller unit (MCU), and an on-off key (OOK) wireless transceiver (TX/RX). The DNA sensing device, based on piezoresistive type microcantilever, was achieved by post processes after the standard CMOS circuit fabrication. The post processes included Au deposition to enhance its biocompatibility and reactive ion etching (RIE) to release the miscrocentilever. To evaluate the sensing device, the 19-mer nucleotide probe DNA of HBV conservative sequence was modified with thiol group to cross link onto the Au layer. To enhance the performance of the integrated SoC, furthermore, the oscillator-based self-calibrated readout circuit was designed and implemented. In addition, the wireless capability was accomplished by the OOK TX/RX. The experimental result revealed that the DNA detection SoC has good selectivity between one base-pair mismatched DNA and all matched DNA. This DNA SoC demonstrated the sensing limitation of 1 pM in the label-free DNA detection.

In this brief, we demonstrate that ultralow-loss and broadband inductors can be obtained by using the CMOS process compatible backside inductively coupled-plasma (ICP) deep-trench technology to selectively remove the silicon underneath the inductors. The results show that a 378.5% increase in maximum Q-factor (Q/sub max/) (from 10.7 at 4.7 GHz to 51.2 at 14.9 GHz), a 22.1% increase in self-resonant frequency (f/sub SR/) (from 16.5 to 20.15 GHz), a 16.3% increase (from 0.86 to 0.9999) in maximum available power gain (G/sub Amax/) at 5 GHz, and a 0.654-dB reduction (from 0.654 dB to 4.08/spl times/10/sup -4/ dB) in minimum noise figure (NF/sub min/) at 5 GHz were achieved for a 2-nH inductor after the backside ICP dry etching. In addition, state-of-the-art ultralow-loss G/sub Amax//spl les/0.99 (i.e., NF/sub min//spl les/0.045 dB) for frequencies lower than 12.5 GHz was achieved for this 2-nH inductor after the backside inductively coupled-plasma dry etching. This means this on-chip inductor-on-air can be used to realize an ultralow-noise 3.1-10.6 GHz ultrawide-band RFIC. These results show that the CMOS process compatible backside ICP etching technique is very promising for system-on-a-chip applications.

A CMOS-process-compatible backside inductively coupled-plasma (ICP) dry etching technology to form deep trenches underneath the inductors of RF ICs is developed to enhance the performance of RF ICs with on-chip inductors. A 1-12.6-GHz CMOS distributed amplifier (DA) was designed and implemented in a standard CMOS process. The DA exhibits good input 1-dB compression point (P/sub 1 dB/) of -2 dBm and input third intercept point of 7 dBm both at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz. The authors demonstrate that a significant improvement in power gain (S/sub 21/) and noise figure (NF) can be achieved by conducting the proposed backside ICP dry etching to selectively remove the silicon underneath the inductors of the DA. The result shows that a 1.06-dB increase in S/sub 21/ (from 9.7 to 10.76 dB) and a 0.87-dB decrease (from 5.51 to 4.64 dB) in NF are achieved at 5.8 GHz mainly due to the improvement of the quality factor of the inductors in the DA. This means that this backside ICP dry-etching technique is very promising for system-on-a-chip applications.
