How to transfer spice model to spectre model

archive

I got following spice model for external MOSFET from the vandor, how can I import this into spectre to get the right simulation results.

I added "simulator lang=spice" line at the top, but it doesn't give me the right result.

MODEL REMOVED BY MODERATOR BECAUSE VENDOR MODEL REQUEST PAGE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THE MODEL MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED.

     Putting it in the "Include Path" field is bound not to work, since that is a list of directories that it looks for relative files specified in the model files, stimulus file or definition files lists.

    It really would help to see the warnings and errors you are getting - without that it's really hard to debug. I did see that there are some extremely small resistors (1u) and some of the sheet resistances in the MOSFET models are not good for spectre.

    Overall, knowing the errors and warnings is much more likely to allow us to debug it.

    Just had a thought - are you actually allowed to post the model on a public site? Most likely the model is owned by the vendor and you are breaking any license/NDA agreement you have by posting it here. Better would be to post a link to the vendor's site if it is available for public download.
