碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 電機工程學系 === 95 === This thesis is mainly composed of two parts which study the active device and passive device and circuit design for RFIC and biomedical applications. First, in study the active device and passive device, we introduce “open-thru” de-embedding technology which can obtain intrinsic device characteristics. This method can minimize the consumption of chip area for dummy structures. We also propose the concept of “center PGS” to further improve the performance of on-chip spiral inductors. From measurement results, “center PGS” structure indeed better than “traditional PGS” structure and useful for RFIC applications. Second, in circuit design for RFIC and biomedical applications, we design a 3~5GHz and a 3~10GHz UWB LNA for UWB systems and use “center PGS” inductors and noise-canceling technology, respectively. We also design an OOK receiver and transmitter for biomedical-sensor system and focus on low power consumption and small area. These circuits are implemented in a TSMC 0.18 um one-poly-six-metal (1P6M) CMOS process.
