I am looking for process information on CMOS 0.13um process technologies for RF and Analog Circuits. Questions like why I would use 0.13 vs. 0.18, any documentation anyone has on these processes, papers, thesis or whatever, inductors, capacitors, varactors, and so on.
I think you will find little difference between anaolgue 0.13um and 0.18um. They will both use 0.30um (or more) transistors and layout. The advantage will be in layout (IO area, IO voltages etc) but little else.
i remember one phD student in the berkeley said, for the 0.13um process, using 0.3um for the analog design is a bad choice. If in that way to abtain enough gain, why do not use 0.3um directly? As a designer, should overcome the low self gain problem and utilize its high ft advantage
Well, 0.13 for sure will yield better matching at the same size, but is strange to use an expensive process and take only one of the advantages it offers. Of corse you should use minum length trasistors to get a good perfomance, and this is what designers do.
