write *.scs file to use model library

mirtaji65

i have TSMC RF fr013.scs and i cant directly use this file at ADE>model library setup>global model file

Error found by spectre during circuit read-in.
ERROR (SFE-675): "/home/disk/simulation/TSMC130_PDK/models/RF_12_33_FSG/T013CMSP002_1_2/spectre/rf013.scs" 3: Illegal library definition found in netlist
When I opened the fr013.scs file, it said to use model library :
"
1)To use these models directly by programming in this style: *
// *
// .lib 'lib_path/lib_name' model_name *
// *
// *
// EX: .lib '/home/user/tsmc/LOGIC/rf013.l' TT_RFMOS *
// for typical RF 1.2V N,PMOS

"
i can't find /tsmc/LOGIC/rf013.l

Finally, I created a test.scs file and write the following command to use model library

include "./RF_12_33_FSG/T013CMSP002_1_2/spectre/rf013.scs" section=tt_lvt
include "./RF_12_33_FSG/T013CMSP002_1_2/spectre/rf013.scs" section=tt_hvt
The problem was solved and simulation was performed
There is only one problem is that I have to change the test.scs file every time to change the corner from tt to sf or ff , ..

What command can I use to make these sections changeable at ADE>model library setup>global model file (drop-down menu)
thanks

    On the model libraries form, there's a column next to the file which shows "section" as the heading. It appears you've referenced the rf013.scs file, but not specified the section, which is why it is giving an error. You can either type in the section name on the model libraries form, or you should be able to click in the field and the drop-down should offer you the choice of available sections.

    You can then set up corners (assuming you're using ADE Explorer or Assembler) to run over multiple sections.

    No need to be editing netlists to do this.
