Summary: 
The new design with minimum loop inductance suitable for the measurements at high frequencies with substrate bias is described. These test structures allow characterizing 4-terminal MOSFETs with a standard two-port Network Analyzer. The high-frequency behavior of bulk effect in MOSFETs is studied at different bias conditions for a 0.18 µm RF CMOS technology. The BSIM3 extension RF MOSFET modeling with bulk effect is verified and analyzed from two-port Y-parameter results. The result of RF NMOSFET shows that a good accuracy of the 4-terminal RF MOSFET modeling is achieved.
