  • Abstract
    This paper provides an overview of the frequency performance required for future RF transistors specified as targets in the 2005 issue of the ITRS. The targets are compared to the performance of state of the art RF transistors and problems to achieve the targets are discussed. Special emphasis is given to Si-based RF transistors, i.e., Si RF MOSFETs and SiGe HBTs, but some information on III-V transistors is also included
