BACKGROUND
Advanced semiconductor technology has led to continuous performance improvements in transistors. However, many iterations are needed to obtain optimal performance and the yield and reproducibility is incredibly poor. Furthermore, US chip makers are ill-equipped with legacy measurement techniques and underperforming models. We propose a robust path to develop and verify high-frequency transistor models: 1) new on-wafer standards and calibration, 2) precision noise measurements for transistor quality assurance, 3) improved characterizations, 4) optimal models tailored to a given technology, and 5) transistor model verification across frequency with key performance indicators.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Radio Frequency (RF) Technology Division is seeking a passive tuner solution that operates from 170 GHz to 260 GHz. The automated passive tuner must 1) be waveguide WR4.3 [170-260] GHz connectorized, 2) be an add-on to the Vertigo system, 3) be driven and automated by the Vertigo “MMW-Studio” software to enable passive (and hybrid) load-pull measurement and 4) meet the technical specifications described below.
This solution is attended to be used for the characterization of high-frequency transistors under large-signal and load conditions. This solution must 1) be WR4.3 [170-260] GHz connectorized, 2) have WR4.3 automated passive tuners with embedded couplers that will enable impedance source and load control, and DC/RF power control 3), allow absolute amplitude and phase calibration of wave parameters with extended on-wafer calibration options, 4) integrate a visualization software to display general large-signal figure-of-merits of transistors measured under various conditions and, 5) have an a... - Documents:
