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

    Andrew,

    I would like to try, but your teststimod.scs is not openable. Page lost if link is clicked.  I have copied your example code and made a teststimod.scs of my version and run spectre grep command in my directory xxx/tsmc65 which is the place I RUN "virtuoso &". 

     The results is "

    [tl4528@cadlams1 ~/tsmc65]$ spectre teststimod.scs | grep stimod

    Simulating `teststimod.scs' on cadlams1 at 3:44:55 PM, Fri Aug 30, 2013 (process id: 11102).

        ERROR (SFE-675): "teststimod.scs" 3: Illegal library definition found in netlist

        ERROR (SFE-874): "teststimod.scs" 22: Unexpected identifier "MOS". Expected end of library

        ERROR (SFE-874): "teststimod.scs" 108: Unexpected end of section "endsection".

        ERROR (SFE-874): "teststimod.scs" 113: Unexpected end of section "endsection".

        ERROR (SFE-868): "teststimod.scs" 119: Unable to open input file `my_model.scs'.

        ERROR (SFE-874): "teststimod.scs" 120: Unexpected keyword "include". Expected end of

    spectre terminated prematurely due to fatal error. 

    "

    My spectre version is  7.2.0.109 32bit -- 6 Dec 2009.

    Provided this is not enough to solve this problem, I would like to go for help at customer support.

     

    Regards.
