Outline of Final Research Achievements

The main objective of this research was the development of a quasi-millimeter wave front end using a 0.18 μm CMOS technology to reduce the cost. In order to address this issue, we first proposed (i) a method to improve the Q factor of on-chip inductor (L) by introducing defects called DGS and use them to develop a quasi-millimeter wave band oscillator of low phase noise. Its performance is world class, (ii) L realized by the proposed DGS has a smaller parasitic capacitance than the conventional spiral L which results in the higher self-resonance frequency, so that it was possible to develop an circuit components including oscillator at quasi-millimeter wave band and above, which was difficult to realize by conventional spiral L. (iii) We will also proposed new design methodology of power amplifier (PA), phase shifter, antenna and on-chip power combiner, which are indispensable for development of quasi-millimeter wave band front end circuits.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年最先端なCMOSプロセスによる準ミリ波帯の回路やシステムが開発されている、65nmプロセスを使用するため、コストが増加する傾向があった。LSIをチップ外のアンテナにボンディングワイヤで接続する必要されるため、ミスマッチや寄生共振が起きってしまい、性能が悪化する。本研究では、0.18μm CMOSプロセスでフロントエンド開発する手法を提案し、コストが削減できることを示した。CMOSプロセスで高い効率のオンチップアンテナを実現し、ボンディングワイヤで発生する寄生共振という問題が解消できることを示し、これにより、オンチップアンテナ付き低コストフロントエンドの開発ができることを示した。
