A 100 GHz low noise amplifier (LNA) utilizing the slow-wave coplanar waveguide (SW-CPW) is presented in 65 nm low power (LP) CMOS process. A multistage wideband LNA is designed with minimal power gain degradation by carefully selecting degeneration inductance. Interstage matching networks are implemented with characterized SW-CPW which has effective permittivity (eff) equal to 13. The fabricated 100 GHz LNA achieves 8.8 dB of power gain and 6.9 dB of the noise figure including RF pads.
