Abstract—The Qucs Equation-Defined Device was introduce roughly ten years ago as a versatile behavioural simulation component for modelling the non-linear static and dynamic properties of passive components, semiconductor devices and IC macromodels. Today, this component has become an established element for building experimental device simulation models. It’s inherent interactive properties make it ideal for device and circuit modelling via Qucs schematics. Moreover, Equation-Defined Devices often promote a clearer understanding of the factors involved in the construction of complex compact semiconductor simulation models. This paper is concerned with recent advances in Qucs-S/Ngspice/XSPICE modelling capabilities that improve model construction and simulation run time performance of Equation-Defined Devices using XSPICE model syntheses. To illustrate the new Qucs-S modelling techniques an XSPICE version of the EPFL EKV v2.6 long channel transistor model together with other illustrative examples are described and their performance simulated with Qucs-S and Ngspice [read more...]

[paper] Validation of MOSFET Model Source–Drain Symmetry

Validation of MOSFET Model Source-Drain Symmetry
Colin C. McAndrew
IEEE TED, Vol. 53, No. 9, Sep. 2006
doi: 10.1109/TED.2006.881005

Abstract: Symmetry around Vds= 0 is a critical requirement for MOSFET models, e.g. as it affects the ability of a model to simulate distortion accurately for some RF CMOS mixers. The Gummel symmetry test (GST) has been the standard test used to evaluate the symmetry of MOSFET models. However, this test is only applicable to DC current, and is only valid when there is negligible gate or substrate current. This paper presents a DC symmetry test that is applicable in the presence of gate and substrate currents, and an AC symmetry test that is simple and effective in verifying symmetry of Cgs and Cgd.
