A low-capacitance bond pad for gigahertz RF applications is proposed. Three kinds of on-chip inductors embedded under the traditional bond pad are used to compensate bond-pad capacitance. Experimental results have verified that bond-pad capacitance can be significantly reduced in a specific frequency band due to the cancellation effect provided by the embedded inductor in the proposed bond pad. The...
A new bond pad structure in CMOS technology with low capacitance for gigahertz radio frequency applications is proposed. Three kinds of inductors stacked under the pad are used in the proposed bond pad structure. Experimental results have verified that the bond pad capacitance is reduced due to the cancellation effect provided by the inductor embedded in the proposed bond pad structure. The new proposed...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection design for RF circuits has been one of the key challenges to implement RF ICs in CMOS technology. On-chip ESD protection circuit at the RF I/O pads often cause unacceptable degradation to RF circuits. In this paper, ESD protection design considerations for RF circuits are addressed, and on-chip ESD protection strategies for both narrow band and broadband CMOS...
