An automatic macro program for radio frequency MOSFET characteristics analysis

Abstract

The parameter extraction language (PEL) in Agilent IC-CAP software is used to develop an automatic macro program for the analysis of the characteristics of RF MOSFETs. By using this powerful macro program, the time spent on the measurement of the MOSFET characteristics and the related analysis is effectively reduced. This macro program permits a fast and accurate method to obtain the DC and RF characteristics of MOSFETs with different device geometries and operating conditions. It is also suitable for high volume measurements and analyses of MOSFET, and provides a solid jou 71 dation for RF circuit design.
