Abstract :
A successful implementation of substrate current and gain degradation models for an nMOSFET amplifier is demonstrated. The substrate current has to be taken into consideration in order to predict the drain conductance degradation. It is shown that the Vgs bias point for the nMOSFET amplifier is very limited when reliability is taken into consideration
