In this study, noise figures of 0.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$-GaAs MESFETs are predicted experimentally with different temperatures. Both the noise figure and the gate leakage current are obtained with wide range of temperatures(27$^{\circ}C$∼300$^{\circ}C$). From the results, gate leakage current increases with temperatures. It is expected that gate leakage current contributes directly to the increase of shot noise current. It is therefore highly recommended to apply an accurate noise analysis to the design of the devices and modules at high temperatures. Fini,Uy the relation between the gate currents resulting in the increase of noise and the noise figures of submicron GaAs MESFETs are traced with different temperatures

The physics-based compact gate leakage current noise models in nanoscale MOSFETs are developed in such a way that the models incorporate important physical effects and are suitable for circuit simulators, including QM (quantum-mechanical) effects. An emphasis on the trap-related parameters of noise models is laid to make the models adaptable to the variations in different process technologies and to make its parameters easily extractable from measured data. With the help of an accurate and generally applicable compact noise models, the compact noise models are successfully implemented into BSIM (Berkeley Short-channel IGFET Model) format. It is shown that the noise models have good agreement with measurements over the frequency, gate-source and drain-source bias ranges.

Increase of gate leakage current causes decrease of gain and increase of noise. In this paper, gate leakage current of GaAs MESEFTs' has been traced with different temperatures from $27^{\circ}C\;to\;350^{\circ}C$ to obtain the zero voltage saturation current $J_s$ which is critical to the temperature dependency of total current. From the results, thermal leakage current coefficient has been proposed to compensate for the total current due to the thermionic emission, tunneling, generation and/or hole injection.

This paper presents two novel compensation circuits for leakage current and power supply noise (PSN) in phase locked loop (PLL) using a nanometer CMOS technology. The leakage compensation circuit reduces the leakage current of the charge pump circuit which becomes more serious problem due to the thin gate oxide and small threshold voltage in nanometer CMOS technology and the PSN compensation circuit decreases the effect of power supply variation on the output frequency of VCO. The PLL design is based on a 32nm predictive CMOS technology and uses a 0.9V power supply voltage. The simulation results show that the proposed PLL achieves a 88% jitter reduction at 440MHz output frequency compared to the PLL without leakage compensator and its output frequency drift is little to 20% power supply voltage variations. The PLL has an output frequency range of $40M{\sim}725MHz$ with a multiplication range of 11023, and the RMS and peak-to-peak jitter are 5ps and 42.7ps, respectively.

Recent CMOS technology scaling has seriously eroded the bit-line noise immunity of register files due to the consequent increase in active bit-line leakage currents. To restore its noise immunity while maintaining performance, we propose and evaluate a $256{\times}40$-bit register file incorporating dual-$V_t$ bit-lines with a boosted gate overdrive voltage in 65 nm bulk CMOS technology. Simulation results show that the proposed bootsrapping scheme lowers leakage current by a factor of 450 without its performance penalty.

New formulas for the minimum noise figure and the optimum source impedance of microwave FETs are derived using the noise equivalent circuits obtained from the steady-state Nyquist theorem for multi-terminal semiconductor devices. The derived formulas manifest the relationships between the noise sources and the physical parameters of a noise equivalent circuit. Furthermore the formulas can explain the effect of gate leakage current on the minimum noise figure and the optimum source impedance. comparisons with the published experimental data confirm the validity and usability of our formula.

유기 박막트랜지스터 (OTFT)를 제작하기 위하여 게이트 절연막으로서 PVP 계통의 유기막을 갖는 MIM(metal-insulator-metal)구조의 유기 절연층 소자를 제작하였다. 유기 절연층의 형은 ITO/Glass 기판위에 polyvinyl 계열의 PVP(poly-4-vinylphenol)를 용질로, PGMEA (propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate)를 용매로 사용하여 co-polymer PVP를 제조하였다. 또한 열경화성 수지인 poly(melamine-co-formaldehyde)를 경화제로 사용하여 cross-linked PVP 절연막을 합성하였다. 유기 절연층의 전기적 특성은 co-polymer PVP 소자에 비해 cross-link 방식으로 제조된 소자에서 약 300 pA의 낮은 누설전류와 상대적으로 낮은 잡음전류의 특성을 나타내었다. 또한 cross-linked PVP 절연막에서 보다 양호한 표면형상 (거칠기)이 관찰되었으며 정전용량 값은 약 0.11${\~}$0.18 nF의 값을 나타내었다.

본 논문에서는 130nm 이하의 초미세 공정을 위한 저전력 32비트$\times$32비트 곱셈기를 제안한다. 공정이 미세화 되어감에 따라 누설 전류에 의한 정적 전력이 급격하게 증가하여 동적 전력에 비해 무시하지 못할 수준에까지 이르게 된다. 최근 들어 동적 전력과 정적 전력을 동시에 줄일 수 있는 방법으로 MTCMOS에 기반하는 전원 차단 방법이 널리 쓰이고 있지만, 대규모 블록의 전원이 복귀될 때 심각한 전원 잡음이 발생하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 제안하는 곱셈기는 파이프라인 스테이지를 따라 순차적으로 전원을 차단하고 복귀함으로 전원 잡음을 완화시킨다. $0.35{\mu}m$ 공정에서 칩 제작 후 측정하고 130nm 및 90m 공정에서 게이트-트랜지션 수준 모의실험을 실시한 결과 유휴 상태에서의 전력 소모는 $0.35{\mu}m$, 130nm 및 90nm 공정에서 각각 $66{\mu}W,\;13{\mu}W,\;6{\mu}W$이었으며 동작 시 전력 소모의 $0.04\sim0.08%$에 불과하였다. 기존의 클록 게이팅 기법은 공정이 미세화되어감에 따라 전력 감소 효율이 떨어지지만 제안하는 곱셈기에서는 이러한 문제점이 발생하지 않았다.
