The PSP Model in the RF CMOS Design Kit – While the Penn State Philips (PSP) transistor model is rightly hailed as an excellent alternative to traditional BSIM models
for RFIC design, RF designers need to be aware of how PSP models relate to actual device behavior. PSP models do require some
judgment on the part of model developers. Equally important is an understanding of the way these models are used in an RF
process design kit (PDK).

Motivation for RF Integration – While CMOS technology has made great strides in its ability to fabricate radio frequency (RF) circuitry, many RF chip designers
have yet to take advantage of this capability. After long relying on more expensive technologies such as silicon germanium
(SiGe) and gallium arsenide (GaAs), RF designers who transition to the latest RF CMOS processes gain the enormous advantages
of full system-on-a-chip (SoC) integration.

High-Performance / Low-Power 65nm CMOS Technology CS200 / CS200A – This paper describes Fujitsu's CS200/CS200A series 65nm CMOS technology with a focus on the technology's improved performance
and low power consumption. These advantages result from the technology's ability to achieve more than twice the density of
transistor packing compared to 90nm technology as well as Fujitsu's advanced copper and ultra-low-k material (ULK) technology.
The ULK material serves as an inter-level dielectric that reduces parasitic interconnect capacitance compared to previous
technologies and thus significantly improves speed and power characteristics. The paper also describes Fujitsu's wide range
of packaging choices and rich IP portfolio for use with the CS200/CS200A technology.
