Abstract(in English) This paper describes a millimeter-wave CMOS power amplifier (PA) and transceiver based on standard 90-nm CMOS technology. For a PA, a reliability issue due to degradation of hot carrier injection should be carefully considered for large-signal operation. To maximize output power while ensuring sufficient lifetime, we have established PA design process including co-simulation technique. The life time is estimated from substrate current on the load circle. The developed PA exhibits a saturated output power of 8.5dBm with 15.2dB linear gain at 60GHz with a supply voltage as low as 0.7V where sufficient lifetime is expected. On the other hand, the 60-GHz band single-chip transmitter achieved an average output power of 6.0dBm under 2.6-Gbps QPSK modulation operating at a drain voltage of 0.7V. Finally, connecting the fabricated single-chip receiver, 2.6-Gbps QPSK modulation signal can be demodulated.
