MOS varactors with n- and p-type gates and their influence on an LC-VCO in digital CMOS.

The influence of the gate doping type of the MOS varactor on frequency tuning, phase noise, and frequency sensitivity to supply-voltage variations of a fully integrated inductance-capacitance voltage-controlled oscillator (LC-VCO) is presented. Three varactors in multifinger layout with shallow tren...
