LEVEL 57 UC Berkeley BSIM3-SOI Model

The UC Berkeley SOI model (BSIM3SOI) supports Fully Depleted (FD), Partially Depleted (PD), and Dynamically Depleted (DD) SOI devices, of which BSIM3PD2.0.1 for PD SOI devices is now installed in Star-Hspice as LEVEL 57.

LEVEL 57 Updates to BSIM3-SOI PD versions 2.2, 2.21, and 2.22

Using BSIM3-SOI PD in Star-HSPICE

You can use BSIM3-SOI PD versions 2.0, 2.2, 2.21, and 2.22 in Star-HSPICE by applying the model parameter VERSION. For example:

For gate-body tunneling, the model parameter IGMOD should be set to 1.
