Abstract :
A simple and reliable method to determine a MOSFET´s gate resistance (Rg) directly from S-parameter measurements is presented. The extracted data agree well with the data predicted by transmission line theory and show that the main contribution of the transistor´s input resistance (Rin) comes from the gate electrode resistance for devices with channel length below 0.2 μm.
