Global Control Options

The following global options affect BSIM4 model.

1. GMIN: GMIN helps solver convergence. It places a conductance in parallel with both the channel and source junction. The default GMIN is 1.0e-12.
2. MINR: Source, drain and gate parasitic resistors inside devices less than minr will be removed. The order of checking inside devices is:
   • Check if resistors are smaller than local minr, if so then remove the parasitic resistors, give warning message.
   • Check global minr, parasitic resistors less than global minr will be removed and warning message will be issued.

1. COMPATIBLE: Encourage device equations to be compatible with a foreign simulator. This option does not affect input syntax.
