Global Control Options

The following global options affect BSIMSOI 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.

In Spectre, both model parameter minr and global minr take effect at same time. So, for global minr to be activated, the value for minr has to be set both globally and locally.

COMPATIBLE: Encourage device equations to be compatible with a foreign simulator. This option does not affect input syntax. Possible values are spectre, spice2, or, spice3.
