Abstract
This paper presents the potential of the SOI technology in the nanometer regime for high-performance applications integrating the RF transceiver with the microprocessor and its embedded DRAM. Owing to its low-parasitic and high-Q passives integrated in a standard micro-processor technology, SOI CMOS can expand CMOS technology into the millimeter-wave frequency. Several examples of CML, VCO and amplifier circuits are provided.
