Effect of Substrate Contact Shape and Placement on RF Characteristics of 45 nm Low Power CMOS Devices

The substrate resistance of 45 nm CMOS devices shows a strong dependence on the distance between the device edge and the substrate ring; as well as on the number of sides that the device is surrounded by the contact ring. We find that the unilateral gain is impacted by the substrate resistance (R[su...
