  • Abstract
    The impact of deep sub-micron CMOS transistor reliability on RF oscillator phase noise degradation is demonstrated along with the importance of off-state drain stress for large signal RF applications. Process and device optimization was successful in reducing phase noise degradation to acceptable levels.
