SPICE Model for Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

xiaoweishawn

I am trying to find a good model for magnetic tunnel junction(MTJ) that could work in Cadence to do simulation. BTW, MTJ is a new device and has no present models in cadence like nefet or pfet. I happended to find this one nanohub.org/.../SPICE_Model_Manual.pdf​ which seems quite promising.

according to what said on the webpage, the model file includes 6 files: LLG.lib, LLGThermRandNum.va, MTJ.lib, MTJ_res.va, NRL_MTJspice_ENC_LIB.inc and USUAGE( these files could be found  nanohub.org/.../19048, then under the supporting Docs column). 

My question is what might  these six files for and how could I performe simulation with these six files in cadence?

I am a beginner in cadence, not sure whether I express myself clear or not. Thanks so much for your possible help!

Bless.

  • Hi Xiaowei

    ".lib" files are spice model files. ".va" files are verilogA files. You will need to first create a symbol and then use the symbol in Virtuoso Schematic Editor. The symbol will need to have a "model" property to point to the appropriate subckt in the files. The files can then be included in ADE as the model files.

    Hope that this helps you.
