BJT schematic simulations and layout

Sarah1898
Sarah1898 over 1 year ago

Hello,

I am not very experienced in IC design and cadence but I am trying to learn.

Can someone please explain to me or direct me to references that explain how to create a BJT layout in cadence virtuoso as well as creating its models for simulations? I have only tried using the ami06 technology library files, please let me know if they are a good choice for BJTs or if there are better ones?

Thanks,
