Using the General MOSFET Model Statement

Following is the syntax for all model specifications. All related parameter levels are covered in their respective sections.

Syntax

.MODEL mname [PMOS | NMOS] (<LEVEL=val> <keyname1=val1>
+ <keyname2=val2>...) <VERSION=version_number>

or

.MODEL mname NMOS(<LEVEL = val> <keyname1 = val1>
+ <keyname2=val2>...) <VERSION=version_number> ...)

mname

Model name. Elements refer to the model by this name.

PMOS

Identifies a p-channel MOSFET model

NMOS

Identifies an n-channel MOSFET model

LEVEL

The MOSFET model includes several device model types. Use the LEVEL parameter for selection. Default=1.0.

VERSION

This parameter specifies the version number of the model, for LEVEL=13 BSIM and LEVEL=39 BSIM2 models only. See the .MODEL statement description for information about the effects of the VERSION parameter.

Example

.MODEL MODP PMOS LEVEL=7 VTO=-3.25 GAMMA=1.0)

.MODEL MODN NMOS LEVEL=2 VTO=1.85 TOX=735e-10)

.MODEL MODN NMOS LEVEL=39 TOX=2.0e-02 TEMP=2.5e+01 VERSION=95.1
