Abstract
A complementary LC VCO is integrated in 65nm SOI, and statistically characterized on a 300mm wafer. Average center frequency is 67.9GHz, and frequency tuning range is 6.14GHz, or 9.05%. Maximum frequency is 73.5GHz, and maximum FTR is 6.68GHz. A phase noise at 10MHz offset is -106dBc/Hz, and power consumption is 5.37mW at 1.2V. The VCO yield is 94.7% for 70GHz operation.Download
