Abstract Highly-integrated radio frequency and mixed-mode devices that are manufactured in deep-submicron or more advanced CMOS processes are becoming more complex to analyze. The increased complexity presents us with many eccentric failure mechanisms that are uniquely different from traditional failure mechanisms found during failure analysis on digital logic applications. This paper presents a novel methodology to overcome the difficulties and discusses two case studies which demonstrate the application of the methodology. Through the case studies, the methodology was proven to be a successful approach. It is also proved how this methodology would work for such non-recognizable failures.

Negative impedance converter circuits (NICs) are important building blocks in design and manufacturing of analog and mixed mode integrated circuits. In this paper, a catalogue of single-current feedback amplifier-based negative impedance converter circuits having impedance scaling properties is proposed. Various examples are presented to illustrate the versatility of the proposed NIC circuits.
