This paper presents the first experimental investigation and physical discussion of the cryogenic behavior of a commercial 28 nm bulk CMOS technology. Here we extract the fundamental physical parameters of this technology at 300, 77 and 4.2 K based on DC measurement results. The extracted values are then used to demonstrate the impact of cryogenic temperatures on the essential analog design parameters. We find that the simplified charge-based EKV model can accurately predict the cryogenic behavior. This represents a main step towards the design of analog/RF circuits integrated in an advanced bulk CMOS process and operating at cryogenic temperature for quantum computing control systems.

This paper presents an extensive characterization and modeling of a commercial 28-nm FDSOI CMOS process operating down to cryogenic temperatures. The important cryogenic phenomena influencing this technology are discussed. The low-temperature transfe
r characteristics including body-biasing are modeled over a wide temperature range (room temperature down to 4.2,K) using the design-oriented simplified-EKV model. The trends of the free-carrier mobilities versus temperature in long and short-narrow devices are extracted from dc measurements down to 1.4,K and 4.2,K respectively, using a recently-proposed method based on the output conductance. A cryogenic-temperature-induced mobility degradation is observed on long pMOS, leading to a maximum hole mobility around 77,K. This work sets the stage for preparing industrial design kits with physics-based cryogenic compact models, a prerequisite for the successful co-integration of FDSOI CMOS circuits with silicon qubits operating at deep-cryogenic temperatures.
Conventional CMOS technology operated at cryogenic conditions has recently attracted interest for its uses in low-noise electronics. We present one of the first characterizations of 180 nm CMOS technology at a temperature of 100 mK, extracting I/V ch
aracteristics, threshold voltages, and transconductance values, as well as observing their temperature dependence. We find that CMOS devices remain fully operational down to these temperatures, although we observe hysteresis effects in some devices. The measurements described in this paper can be used to inform the future design of CMOS devices intended to be operated in this deep cryogenic regime.
In this paper a commercial 28-nm FDSOI CMOS technology is characterized and modeled from room temperature down to 4.2 K. Here we explain the influence of incomplete ionization and interface traps on this technology starting from the fundamental devic
e physics. We then illustrate how these phenomena can be accounted for in circuit device-models. We find that the design-oriented simplified EKV model can accurately predict the impact of the temperature reduction on the transfer characteristics, back-gate sensitivity, and transconductance efficiency. The presented results aim at extending industry-standard compact models to cryogenic temperatures for the design of cryo- CMOS circuits implemented in a 28 nm FDSOI technology.
Developing mixed-signal analog-digital neuromorphic circuits in advanced scaled processes poses significant design challenges. We present compact and energy efficient sub-threshold analog synapse and neuron circuits, optimized for a 28 nm FD-SOI proc
ess, to implement massively parallel large-scale neuromorphic computing systems. We describe the techniques used for maximizing density with mixed-mode analog/digital synaptic weight configurations, and the methods adopted for minimizing the effect of channel leakage current, in order to implement efficient analog computation based on pA-nA small currents. We present circuit simulation results, based on a new chip that has been recently taped out, to demonstrate how the circuits can be useful for both low-frequency operation in systems that need to interact with the environment in real-time, and for high-frequency operation for fast data processing in different types of spiking neural network architectures.
This work presents a self-heating study of a 40-nm bulk-CMOS technology in the ambient temperature range from 300 K down to 4.2 K. A custom test chip was designed and fabricated for measuring both the temperature rise in the MOSFET channel and in the
surrounding silicon substrate, using the gate resistance and silicon diodes as sensors, respectively. Since self-heating depends on factors such as device geometry and power density, the test structure characterized in this work was specifically designed to resemble actual devices used in cryogenic qubit control ICs. Severe self-heating was observed at deep-cryogenic ambient temperatures, resulting in a channel temperature rise exceeding 50 K and having an impact detectable at a distance of up to 30 um from the device. By extracting the thermal resistance from measured data at different temperatures, it was shown that a simple model is able to accurately predict channel temperatures over the full ambient temperature range from deep-cryogenic to room temperature. The results and modeling presented in this work contribute towards the full self-heating-aware IC design-flow required for the reliable design and operation of cryo-CMOS circuits.
