Extraction of the channel thermal noise in MOSFETs

Abstract
An extraction method to obtain the channel thermal noise in MOSFETs directly from DC, scattering parameter and RF noise measurements is presented. In this extraction method, the transconductance (g/sub m/), output resistance (R/sub DS/), and source and drain resistances (R/sub S/ and R/sub D/) are obtained from DC measurements. The gate resistance (R/sub G/) is extracted from scattering-parameter measurements, and the equivalent noise resistance (R/sub n/) is obtained from RF noise measurements. This method has been verified by using the measured data of a 0.36 /spl mu/m n-type MOSFET up to 18 GHz.
