Parametric sweep and specific data extract for waveform plot

quasilog
quasilog over 10 years ago

Hi All,

I am characterizing BSIM3v3 MOS using OCEAN+SPECTRE for gm/id design methodlogy (Boris Murmann specified way)

For that i ran a dcsweep (Vgs)+parametric sweep(L). OCEAN snippet:
 

analysis('dc ?saveOppoint t ?param "gs" ?start "0.25"
?stop "1.25" ?step "25m" )
paramAnalysis("length" ?values '(1.8e-07 2.3e-07 )
)
paramRun()


Now I could plot Vov(x-axis) vs gm/id(y axis) using


ov_n = (v("MN.m1:vgs" ?result "dc-dc") - v("MN.m1:vth" ?result "dc-dc"))
gm_id_n = (getData("MN.m1:gm" ?result "dc-dc") / getData("MN.m1:ids" ?result "dc-dc"))
ov_n_VS_gm_id_n = abChangeXAxis(gm_id_n ov_n)
plot(ov_n_VS_gm_id_n)


Now i want to plot Length (x-axis) vs Cgg(y-axis) (assuming Cgg is also saved by "save MN.m1:cgg") for a CONSTANT gm/id (as done by Boris Murmann using MATLAB). I want to do it purely in OCEAN/SKILL for simplicity.

It would be really nice if anybody could give some suggestion (e.g. OCEAN code) to plot the desired waveform. I tried with selectResults() OCEAN function but with little success.


Thanks for your cooperation.
