Abstract

The dependence of $f_T$ and $f_{max}$ on the unit finger width is measured and analyzed for $0.13{\mu}m$ MOSFETs. The increase of $f_T$ at narrow width is attributed by the parasitic gate-bulk capacitance, and the decrease of $f_T$ at wide width is generated by the reduction of increasing rate of $g_{mo}$. The increase of $f_{max}$ at narrow width is originated from the abrupt reduction of gate resistance due to the non-quasi-static effect. These analysis results will be valuable information for layout optimization to improve $f_T$ and $f_{max}$.
