摘要：
The degradation of S-parameters of 0.16-mum nMOS devices due to gate-oxide breakdown is examined. An equivalent circuit model for MOSFETs after gate-oxide breakdown is proposed. The influence of nMOSFET gate-oxide breakdown on the performance of a low-noise amplifier is studied using the equivalent circuit model. Depending on which device and how many fingers break down, the circuit continues to work, despite that the performance of S-parameters and noise figure degrades significantly.
