In this paper, a de-embedding method is proposed for conducting accurate on-wafer device measurements in the gi- gahertz range. The method addresses issues of substrate coupling and contact effects and is therefore suitable for measurements with lossy technologies such as CMOS. The method assumes a probe-tip two-port calibration performed with well-known techniques and impedance substrates. By employing a physical interpretation of the test-fixture, the method alleviates a number of known prob- lems with common de-embedding procedures. Four distinct math- ematical steps are suggested to de-embed parasitics for the test-fix- ture to give an accurate measurement of the device under test. By introducing a simple compensation factor for in-fixture stan- dard imperfections, the proposed method allows large devices to be measured with high accuracy. The applicability of the method is demonstrated with measurements up to 12 GHz.
