Abstract

The effect of gate – drain/source underlap ( Lun ) on a narrow band LNA performance has been studied , in 30 nm FinFET using device and mixed mode simulations. Studies are done by maintaining and not maintaining the leakage current (Ioff) of the various devices. LNA circuit with two transistors in a cascode arrangement is constructed and the input impedance, gain and noise-figure have been used as performance metrics. To get the better noise performance and gain, Lun in the range of 3-5nm is recommended.
