This paper focuses on the extraction of an accurate small-signal equivalent circuit for metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). An analytical modeling approach was developed and successfully validated through the comparison between measured and simulated scattering parameters. The extraction of the equivalent circuit elements allowed for the estimation of the intrinsic unity current-gain cutoff frequency, which is a crucial figure of merit for assessing the high-frequency performance. The experimental data show that the cutoff frequency of the tested devices exhibits a nearly ideal scaling behavior with decreasing gate length.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the extraction of an accurate small-signal equivalent circuit for metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). An analytical modeling approach was developed and successfully validated through the comparison between measured and simulated scattering parameters. The extraction of the equivalent circuit elements allowed for the estimation of the intrinsic unity current-gain cutoff frequency, which is a crucial figure of merit for assessing the high-frequency performance. The experimental data show that the cutoff frequency of the tested devices exhibits a nearly ideal scaling behavior with decreasing gate length.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
