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 (ɛ 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. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 55:1954–1957, 2013
