Abstract
In order to reduce the hot carrier (HC) effect, some specific design techniques need to be developed and applied to the circuit design. In this paper, HC induced MOSFET parameter degradations are investigated experimentally, and different low noise amplifier (LNA) architectures are evaluated in terms of HC induced performance degradations. A generalized design technique is proposed to reduce HC effect on circuits.
