Transadmittance Efficiency Under NQS Operation in Asymmetric Double Gate FDSOI MOSFET

The state-of-the-art RF and millimeterwave circuits design requires accurate prediction of the nonquasi-static (NQS) effects at high frequency for all levels of channel inversion. This paper provides a practical insight to help high-frequencyperformance assessment of ultrathin body and box fully depleted silicon-on-insulator MOSFETs through a powerful frequency normalization scheme. Frequency dependence of small signal characteristics derived from experimental S-parameters is analyzed and reveals that the transconductance efficiency (g
