High-Linearity, Temperature-Stable, Low-Noise CMOS-Compatible T-Shaped Drain Doping JLFET: Optimized LNA Designs for GNSS, 6G, and Multi-Band Applications from L-Band to V/W-Bands
摘要
With the rapid advancement of wireless communication, the demand for higher data rates and wider bandwidth continues to grow. While GNSS systems require stable, low-noise performance, emerging 6G technologies in the upper mmWave and terahertz bands pose challenges to traditional junctionless transistors due to carrier transport limitations at high frequencies. This paper introduces a CMOS-compatible, high-linearity, and thermally robust low-noise amplifier (LNA) based on a double-gate junctionless FET (DG-JLFET) with T-shaped drain doping (TSDD). The optimized drain doping profile enhances electron mobility, minimizes impurity scattering, and ensures superior linearity across a broad thermal range (-25°C to 125°C). The device operates at an optimal bias point where the Zero-Temperature Coefficient (ZTC) and Zero-Crossing Point (ZCP) align near peak transconductance (gmmax), reducing distortion and maximizing efficiency. Two LNAs, designed for L-band (1–2 GHz) and V/W-band (60–110 GHz), exhibit high gain stability, ultra-low noise figures (NF = 0.09 dB and 1.3 dB), and excellent impedance matching at 1.5 GHz and 85 GHz (S21 = 25.5 dB and 24.1 dB, respectively). This study advances silicon-based JLFET technology for RF applications, providing a scalable and cost-effective alternative to III-V technologies for next-generation GNSS and 6G systems.
