Abstract

The high frequency characteristics of waffle MOSFETs are studied. In addition to area saving, the waffle MOSFETs also provide enhancement to the RF characteristics. When compared with the conventional multi-finger layout with the same device width, the waffle MOSFETs provide extra flexibility in the design window. Measured S-parameters from a 0.35 μm technology process over a wide range of bias conditions indicate the waffle MOSFET is capable to offer enhancements in fmax, fT, and minimum noise figure with careful design.
