Abstract

The integration of RF NLDMOS transistors into a 0.13 μm CMOS process for operating at X-Band (8.5-10.5 GHz) frequencies with over 11 dB gain and 0.25 W/mm power density and 22% power added efficiency at 1 dB output power compression is presented. The self aligned NLDMOS was modularly integrated into IHP's 130 nm SiGeC BiCMOS platform targeting 1 W X-Band power amplifiers for radar and satellite communication applications.
