45nm model detialed operation parameter list

AndyWangsh

Based on the previous post, we can use commands like spectre -h bjt to search for the possible device operation parameter available to call.

However, I cannot find the corresponding one for the gpdk45nm in the Spectre Circuit Simulator Reference.

Could you help me find the corresponding reference about it?

Thank you.

    Assuming you're taking about the MOS devices, then the models are using bsim4 - so "spectre -h bsim4" is relevant here. The bipolar devices (given that this is a CMOS technology) are using bjt, and the diodes are using the "diode" model.

    There are also three PDF files in the "docs" directory in the PDK installation which add extra information (although they don't state which underlying device model is used for each device).
