Reverse-order source/drain formation with double offset spacer (RODOS) for CMOS low-power, high-speed and low-noise amplifiers
Pages 189 - 192
Abstract
RODOS (Reverse-Order source/drain formation with Double Offset Spacer) was proposed for low-power, high-speed and low-noise amplifiers. Relying on simulation data, we confirmed the high feasibility of the RODOS process. It showed improved performance in linearity (VIP3). Additionally, by optimizing process parameters, we achieved small gate delay (CV/I) and low static/dynamic power consumption. It satisfied most of the requirements of LOP and LSTP in ITRS 2002. Finally, it is found out that the devices with the RODOS structure can be a promising alternative to implement low-power, high-speed and low-noise amplifiers for radio on a chip.

A fully differential capacitively-coupled high CMRR low-power chopper amplifier for EEG dry electrodes
AbstractThe use of dry electrodes is increasing rapidly. Since their impedance is high, there is a high impedance node at the connecting node between the electrode and amplifier. This leads to absorb powerline signal and high CMRR amplifiers are essential ...
