Overwater, R.W.J. (author), Babaie, M. (author), Sebastiano, F. (author)Cryogenic CMOS (cryo-CMOS) circuits are often hindered by the cryogenic threshold-voltage increase. To mitigate such an increase, a forward body biasing (FBB) technique in bulk CMOS is proposed, which can operate up to the nominal supply without problematic leakage currents, thanks to the larger diode turn-on voltage at cryogenic temperatures...journal article 2023

Gong, J. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Charbon-Iwasaki-Charbon, E. (author), Sebastiano, F. (author), Babaie, M. (author)This article presents a 4-to-5GHz LC oscillator operating at 4.2K for quantum computing applications. The phase noise (PN) specification of the oscillator is derived based on the control fidelity for a single-qubit operation. To reveal the substantial gap between the theoretical predictions and measurement results at cryogenic temperatures, a...journal article 2022

't Hart, P.A. (author), Babaie, M. (author), Charbon-Iwasaki-Charbon, E. (author), Vladimirescu, A. (author), Sebastiano, F. (author)This paper presents a device matching study of a commercial 40-nm bulk CMOS technology operated at cryogenic temperatures. Transistor pairs and linear arrays, optimized for device matching, were characterized over the temperature range from 300 K down to 4.2 K. The device parameters relevant for mismatch, i.e., the threshold voltage and the...journal article 2020
