摘要：

The effects of RF hot-carrier stress on the characteristics of 60-GHz power amplifiers (PAs) on a CMOS 65-nm process are investigated, for the first time, in this letter. A reliability study is made on a one-stage PA to validate an aging model and the degradation explanation. A drop of 16% of the gain, 17% of the 1-dB output compression point (OCP1dB), and 17% of the P-sat are measured at 60 GHz after 50 h of stress under V-dd = 1.65 V with P-in = 0 dBm and Vdd = 1.9 V with P-in = -10 dBm at 60-GHz frequency.
