Are there any semiconductor vendor-supplied models in IC stream?

achilles

I am thinking these files contain standard models; how do we know the names of the models included? and how do we use them? 

cmi.pic.o  libphilips_sh.so  libinfineon_sh.so  libstmodels_sh.so  libsparam_sh.so  defaultConfig

 Thanks,

    The model interfaces are documented
    do a
     spectre -h component
    e.g.
     spectre -h bsim3v3
    and you will get a description how to use the
    mode the "Instance Parameters" define the interface to
    the design entry.

    A MOS transistor on silicon allways have a 4th terminal
    which is the silicon itself, mostly called substrate or bulk.

    If you want to simulate discrete transistors with Spectre
    your are probably going for the wrong approach.
    You rather should look for some PSpice or LTspice or
    some equivalent simulator for discrete elements.
