Parameter therm_sid in Noise Summary

Hi!

I was wonder what the parameter therm_sid represents in the Nosie Summary and how it differs from the parameter thermal_noise?

Thanks in advance

    I think this is the thermal noise from the Id current noise source in a bsimcmg device (you didn’t say what type of device it was). Thermal_noise is what you get from bsource devices and rn from resistances. There’s a number of long-standing requests to document the noise contribution parameters, but sadly it hasn’t happened yet.

    Thank you for the clarification.

    The devices that had the noise parameter therm_sid are pfet transistors which I assume are bsimcmg devices.
