Suggestions for Future Works

In this thesis, most studies were focus on characterization, parameter extraction, and modeling of RF MOSFET’s. Some issues such as the behaviors of MOSFET’s suffer from body effect or under different substrate bias could be further investigated.

Moreover, applying the model based on four-port measurement to the circuit design process would be interesting and which can evaluate the accuracy of the model further.
