Model

Model Syntax

The following syntax specifies BSIM6 model:

model ModelName bsim6 | bsimbulk <parameter=value> ...

The third parameter, bsim6, is the master to indicate this model card is a BSIM6 model card.

Starting with version 106.2, bsim6 has been renamed to bsimbulk. Spectre supports both master names.

Sample Model Statements

model pchmod bsim6 type=p version=6.00
model pchmod bsimbulk type=p version=102.6

TMI Support

The bsim6 model supports the TMI model, a modeling application programming interface that supports extensions of standard compact models.

TMI provides an alternative approach to support model equations for advanced technologies in addition to adding more macro models. It provides good flexibility as macro model and good simulation efficiency as built-in standard model at the same time.

To use the TMI for bsim6 model, you need to correctly set the TMI options and parameters. For more information on TMI options and parameters, refer to the TMI documentation.

OMI Support

Starting with the SPECTRE 21.1 release, support for the OMI model has been added in the BSIM-BULK model. OMI (Open Model Interface) is CMC standard modeling application programming interface (API) that supports extensions of standard compact models.

OMI provides an alternative approach to support model equations for advanced technologies in addition to adding more macro models. It provides flexibility as a macro model and good simulation efficiency as a built-in standard model at the same time.

To use the OMI for the BSIM-BULK model, you need to correctly set the OMI options and parameters. For more information on OMI options and parameters, refer to the OMI documentation.
