Asymmetric Self-Cascode versus Graded-Channel SOI nMOSFETs for analog applications

This paper compares the performance of Asymmetric Self-Cascode and Graded-Channel SOI nMOSFETs, both proposed to improve the analog performance of fully depleted SOI nMOSFETs. The differences at device level are evaluated and the impact of their application in basic analog circuits, i.e. common-source amplifier, source-follower and common-source current mirror are explored through experimental results.
