Model Usage

HiSIM_HV model definition is used to describe the behavior of devices which has same model characteristics and the instance parameters can be used to describe the characteristics that belong to the specific device.

Instance Syntax

HiSIM_HV instance need specify at least 4 terminals and up to 6 terminals can be supplied. If the 5th terminal is given and COSUBNODE=0, it is used as external self-heating node and the self-heating information can be obtained with it when the self-heating effect is activated. If 5th terminal is not given and the self-heating effect is activated, another internal self-heating node is created and used to save related information. If the 5th terminal is given and COSUBNODE=1, it is used as substrate node and the self-heating information will be saved with internal node when COSELFHEAT=1. If 6 nodes are specified, the 5th node is substrate node and the 6th node is thermal node. To specify HiSIM_HV instance element, the ModelName has to be associated with a HiSIM_HV model card.

InstanceName d g s b [sub|th][th] ModelName parameter=value ...

Sample Instance Statement

m4 (d g s b) nch w=2u l=0.8u as=250p ad=250p pd=168p ps=168p m=2

Model Syntax

The following syntax specifies HiSIM_HV model:

model ModelName hisim_hv parameter=value ...

The third parameter, “hisim_hv”, is the master to indicate this model card is a HiSIM_HV model card.

Sample Model Statement

model nch hisim_hv type=n version=2.10 corsrd=3 rs=2.0e-3 rd=1.0e-3 rdtemp1=1e-4 xldld=0
