Simulation of Breakdown Characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with Double Passivation Layers

Nakano K., Hanawa H., Horio K., Shibaura Institute of Technology, JP

It is well known that the introduction of field plate increases the breakdown voltage of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. However, it increases the parasitic capacitance, leading to the degradation of high-frequency performance. As another way to improve [...]

Effects of sub-threshold operation on 32 nm technology node PMOSFETs evaluated from the perspective of two-stage NBTI model

Hussin H., Soin N., Bukhori M.F., Universiti Teknologi MARA, MY

We investigate the subthreshold operation effects on NBTI reliability issues in the framework of two-stage NBTI model. This is to include the effect of oxide trap since most previous simulation-based study only focuses on interface [...]

Design of compact, high capacitance ratio MEMS switch for X – Band applications using high-k dielectric materials

Maninder K., CEERI, IN

This paper presents the design optimization of Symmetric Toggle RF MEMS Switch (STS). STS is based on 50 ohm CPW configuration with torsion springs of movable membrane anchored to the ground planes of CPW. The [...]
