Abstract

Starting from advanced NEGF physical simulation of a 100 nm gate length Graphene FET, we attempt to use these results as a starting point to evaluate this technology for microwave circuit benchmarking. Using an improved compact model carefully adjusted on NEGF simulation data, in both DC and AC regime, we use this model to design a mmW amplifier at 140 GHz. In the first part of the design procedure, we use the ADS compact model for coplanar waveguide of passive elements. The complete design is then verified using electromagnetic FEM simulation which gives more reliable results at very high frequencies for passive elements and interconnections. This analysis has shown that unlike first GFET generations, impedance matching problems may be naturally solved with transistor performance improvements. Finally, the GFET device and circuit is compared to HEMT technologies and shows promising performances.
