SOI technology allows one to make microwave (C)MOS transistors using the same process as
regular analog or digital CMOS circuits. These microwave transistors can operate under low
voltage. Look below for some examples...
Current gain (H21), Maximum Available Gain (MAG) and Unilateral Gain (ULG) of an SOI
nMOSFET (L=0.75 µm) under a 0.9 V supply voltage.
fT and Fmax and dc power consumption of an SOI nMOSFET (L=0.75 µm) as a function of
supply voltage

The variation of the minimum noise figure and the associated gain as a function
of frequency of a 20 x25/0.75 µm SOI n-MOSFET biased at Vds = Vgs = 1.5 V and
2 V
