In this paper, we first investigate the noise model for 2D-TMD monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) transistors. With a proposed noise model, simulation results of low-frequency noise for MoS2 transistors agree well with measurement data. Then, in order to evaluate potential MoS2-based circuits and explore design space, we utilize the behavior and noise models of monolayer MoS2 transistors to analyze the phase noise of LC voltage controlled oscillators (LC VCOs). According to the gm/ID concept, we develop an analytical design and optimization methodology for monolayer MoS2 based LC VCOs. For a given circuit-level design specification, the proposed design methodology can effectively balance the phase noise and current consumption. Four design examples of MoS2-based LC VCOs are guided using the proposed design methodology and are verified by HSPICE simulations. Compared with the HSPICE simulation results, the calculated noise phase using our proposed analytical design methodology achieves at least 95% accuracy. Finally, we design optimized LC VCO circuits with monolayer MoS2 transistors and silicon transistors, respectively, to compare their performance. Various results reveal that the phase noise and figure-of-merit of monolayer MoS2-based LC VCOs are about 10 dB better than silicon-based designs. It indicates monolayer MoS2 transistor is promising to replace silicon in analog/RF circuits for better noise performance or lower power consumption.
