Cryogenic characterization of 28 nm bulk CMOS technology for quantum computing
47th ESSDERC, Leuven, Belgium, 2017, pp. 62-65.
Abstract: This paper presents the first experimental investigation and physical discussion of the cryogenic behavior of a commercial 28 nm bulk CMOS technology. Here we extract the fundamental physical parameters of this technology at 300,77 and 4.2 K based on DC measurement results. The extracted values are then used to demonstrate the impact of cryogenic temperatures on the essential analog design parameters. We find that the simplified charge-based EKV model can accurately predict the cryogenic behavior. This represents a main step towards the design of analog/RF circuits integrated in an advanced bulk CMOS process and operating at cryogenic temperature for quantum computing control systems [read more...] doi: 10.1109/ESSDERC.2017.8066592

Nanometer CMOS characterization and compact modeling at deep-cryogenic temperatures
47th ESSDERC, Leuven, Belgium, 2017, pp. 58-61.
Abstract: The characterization of nanometer CMOS transistors of different aspect ratios at deep-cryogenic temperatures (4 K and 100 mK) is presented for two standard CMOS technologies (40 nm and 160 nm). A detailed understanding of the device physics at those temperatures was developed and captured in an augmented MOS11/PSP model. The accuracy of the proposed model is demonstrated by matching simulations and measurements for DC and time-domain at 4 K and, for the first time, at 100 mK [read more...] doi: 10.1109/ESSDERC.2017.8066591
