How to set the model parameter STIMOD in simulation?

Alex Liao

Hi

The STIMOD is the LOD stress effect model selector. I can view this after any simulation by printing the model parameter in virtuoso ADE. But I have checked the modelfile.scs which is included in any simulation. It is BSIM4.5 and no such selector found in it. Is there anybody who knows how to set this STIMOD? If it is in print MODEL parameter, it should come from somewhere. Anyone who has knowledge and presents here is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex

    You can't just run spectre on your model file - it has sections in it, and spectre will not be able to find anything (plus you don't have any instances, and no info analyses).

    Did you try running my example? (attached).

    I can only imagine there is either something wrong with the version of the simulator you're using (although I tried back to MMSIM61, and it worked even then with my example), or you made a mistake somehow and the file you updated is not being used. You also didn't say which simulator version you're using.

    Probably best at this stage to go via customer support so that we can work more closely with you to take a look at your data.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
