How to add a downloaded Library

AAS28
AAS28 over 10 years ago

Hi,

I want to try designing FinFET circuits. For that I downloaded the BSIM CMG 108.0 from http://www-device.eecs.berkeley.edu/bsim/. It contains 'Benchmark test', ' code' and technical manual. But I don't know how to add this as a library in my installed cadence version. I saw similar posts asking similar question, but the answers were not clear to me. I would be really grateful if you could point out the procedure I need to follow in order to add that library so that I can start.

Thanks

    Is there some professor telling people to do this? This is the second similar question in a couple of days:

    The answer is simple: don't do this. Spectre has had the "bsimcmg" model built in for some time now and so there is absolutely no point fighting to get a Verilog-A implementation used instead (which will be slower than the built-in model).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks Mr Beckett for your reply. I am actually very new to cadence. Can you please provide me with the 'path' (like how I can use the in built bsimcmg) ? I would be really grateful. I know you must be busy and this is too much to ask.  Please excuse my little knowledge in it.

    Regards

    Ashiq
