In the nanoscale domain, the MOSFETs are prone to various physical effects due to their shorter channel region known as short-channel effects (SCE). The researchers have proposed an advanced structure of MOSFET known as the ultrathinbody silicon-on-insulator (UTBSOI) to overcome the limitations of SCEs. The UTBSOI is a type of double-gate (DG) MOSFET having superior controllability of gates over the shorter channel region. Nowadays, the UTBSOI MOSFETs can be adopted in the circuit simulators through the use of a device model named BSIM-IMG. The BSIM-IMG has made it possible for the circuit designers to simulate any UTBSOI based analog blocks like operational amplifiers (opamp). The performance parameters of an opamp are very much sensitive to any perturbation in size (W/L) of the constituent MOSFETs, that may cause a drastic change in the output. In this paper, the sensitivity analysis procedure has been proposed for the CMOS and UTBSOI based two-stage opamps as the function of perturbation in W/L. In addition to this, an algorithm has also been presented to do the same. From the simulation results, it is observed that the sensitivity of the UTBSOI based opamp (UTBSOI-opamp) is larger than that of CMOS based opamp (CMOS-opamp).
The downscaling of complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) technology is approaching its limits imposed by short-channel effects (SCE), thereby multi-gate MOSFETs have been proposed to extend the scalability. Ultrathin-body silicon-on-insulator (UTBSOI) transistor is one of the dual-gated devices which offers better immunity towards SCEs. In this paper, two designs have been proposed for single-stage operational transconductance amplifiers (OTA) using the CMOS and UTBSOI. The CMOS based OTA (CMOS-OTA) has been designed where sizing (W/L) of the constituting MOSFETs have been evaluated through gm/Id methodology and the same OTA topology has been simulated using UTBSOI (UTBSOI-OTA) considering the same W/L. The DC simulation is carried out over the BSIM3v3 model to store the operating point parameters in the form of graphical models. The mathematical expressions for performance specifications have been applied over the graphical models to evaluate the required W/L. Individual comparisons between the two proposed designs have also been carried out for further applications. Based on simulation results at the schematic level, the UTBSOI-OTA has higher DC gain of 33.26% and lesser power consumption of 2.81% over the CMOS-OTA. Moreover, comparative analysis of performance parameters like DC gain and common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR), have been compared with the best-reported paper so far. In addition to this, the UTBSOI-OTA has been applied to practical integrator circuits for further verification.
