Title: Where can I find the parameters' values of a RF CMOS technology???
Post by jianke on Apr 5^th, 2012, 10:26am

Hi everyone! I am reading a paper about a CMOS LNA design. But I am not sure where the parameters' values of the CMOS technology are from???
The process used in the paper is SMIC 0.18um RF CMOS processes. The values cited are:
(1) Gate oxide capacitance per unit area, Cox=9mF/(m^2);
(2) Body effect parameter, r=3;
(3) One measure of the departure from the long-channel regime, a=0.5;
(4) NMOS charge-carrier effective mobility, un= 3.4*10^(-2) (m^2)/(VS);

Maybe SMIC is not popular in your country, but for other RF CMOS technologies, such as TSMC or another one, how can I find those parameters values??? Thanks!

Doesn't anyone have an idea or any comments?

Between the spice model, the foundry model guide, and bsim (or other mos model) guide you shouldn't have problems finding these parameters.
