Hi.
I've heard that most standard Spice MOS models such as Level 1, 2, 3, BSIM1, BSIM2, BSIM3, BSIM4, MOS9, or EKV 2.63 will not give correct results for IM3 simulation(Inter Modulation of Third Order).
I've also heard that the only MOS models that give correct IM3 results are the PSP model from Philips/Penn State University, the MOS11 model from Philips, and the HiSIM model from Japan. Coincidentally, all three of these models are surface potential based models.
IM3 given by standard Spice MOS models such as BSIM3 is very incorrect so that it can't be useful in actual circuit design ? More modern surface potential-based models like PSP, MOS11, and HiSIM will be absolutely needed ?
I expect that standard Spice MOS models is still practical level regarding IM3.
