Abstract

This paper describes a 180 nm CMOS thin film SOI technology developed for RF switch applications. For the first time we show that the well-known harmonic generation issue in HRES SOI technologies can be suppressed with one additional mask. Power handling, linearity, and Ron*Coff product are competitive with GaAs pHEMT and silicon-on-sapphire technologies.
