Model parameters

ag2888

Hi,

I am trying to get an idea as to what a device model parameter represents.
Can anyone please suggest where i can get the list for it.
I am specifically looking for the parameters like mobility, Cox, subthreshold factor, TC of threshold voltage, Vth0 of the device etc.

Also i am trying to plot the threshold voltage of a device as per my DC sweep parameter. Can anyone please tell me how should i do that?

    Did you consider reading the documentation? There's a whole manual on the device model equations, plus documentation on the parameters available for each mode. Run "cdnshelp" from <MMSIMinstDir>/tools/bin to get to the documentation.

    If you want to plot the threshold voltage, the best thing to do is to create an include file, called (say) save.scs with the contents:

    save M1:vth

    and then reference this file from Setup->Model Libraries or Setup->Simulation Files. Then you can see this parameter from the Results browser after your dc sweep. Of course, change M1 to be whatever the device name is in your case.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
