David,

One thing to remember about gate oxide capacitance -- the bottom
plate of the capacitor is the FET channel which is fairly resistive.
So, especially for caps formed from relatively long devices, there
can be substantial ESR. This effect does not show up in SPICE
models using MOS devices with shorted drain and source. Capacitors
made of shorter channel devices have lower series resistance, but
they're less area efficient.

Regards,
Mike
