compatible=spectre

Encourage device equations to be compatible with a foreign simulator. This option does not affect input syntax. Possible values are spectre, spice2, spice3, cdsspice, spiceplus, eldo, sspice, mica, tispice, and pspice.

Imax and Imelt

The imax parameter aids convergence and prevents numerical overflow. The junction characteristics of the device are accurately modeled for current up to imax. If imax is exceeded during iterations, the linear model is substituted until the current drops below 'imax' or until convergence is achieved. If convergence is achieved with the current exceeding imax, the results are inaccurate, and a warning is printed out.

A separate model parameter, imelt, is used as a limit warning for the junction current. This parameter can be set to the maximum current rating of the device. When any component of the junction current exceeds imelt, the base and collector currents are composed of many exponential terms, a warning will be issued and the results become inaccurate. The junction current is linearized above the value of imelt to prevent arithmetic exception, with the exponential term replaced by a linear equation at imelt.

Both of these parameters have current density counterparts, jmax and jmelt, that you can specify if you want the absolute current values to depend on the device area.

Auto Model Selection

Many models need to be characterized for different geometries in order to obtain accurate results for model development. The model selector program automatically searches for a model with the length and width range specified in the instance statement and uses this model in the simulations.

For the auto model selector program to find a specific model, the models to be searched should be grouped together within braces. Such a group is called a model group. An opening brace is required at the end of the line defining each model group. Every model in the group is given a name followed by a colon and the list of parameters. Also, the four geometric parameters lmax, lmin, wmax, and wmin should be given. The selection criteria to choose a model is as follows:

lmin <= inst_length < lmax  and   wmin <= inst_width  < wmax

Example:

model ModelName ModelType {

1: <model parameters> lmin=2 lmax=4 wmin=1 wmax=2

2: <model parameters> lmin=1 lmax=2 wmin=2 wmax=4

3: <model parameters> lmin=2 lmax=4 wmin=4 wmax=6

}

Then for a given instance

M1 1 2 3 4 ModelName w=3 l=1.5

the program would search all the models in the model group with the name ModelName and then pick the first model whose geometric range satisfies the selection criteria. In the preceding example, the auto model selector program would choose ModelName.2.

You must specify both length (l) and width (w) on the device instance line to enable automatic model selection.
