Even in the case of a terahertz circuit design, circuit simulators are still used in circuit design. However, design environments and techniques are not as well established as for radio-frequency (RF) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. Thus, various preparations are required before using the circuit simulator to design ultrahigh-frequency circuits operating at millimeter wave (mmw) or terahertz. Although this preparation occasionally occupies a lot of time of work, it is no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of circuit design is determined by the quality of this preparation. This section reviews recent progress made by the authors in terahertz CMOS design including device characterization and modeling techniques
