Title: Diode spectre model Post by Palz on Oct 8th, 2017, 6:53pm I’m working on device modelling (specre model) of a pn junction diode. There are parameters gap1 and gap2 for bandgap voltage (Egalpha and Egbeta). Analytically, when egalpha and egbeta terms are changed, the bandgap voltage at a particular temperature changes. Vg(T) = Vg0 - ((alpha * T^2)/(T+beta)) But I couldn't observe any difference in the performance of the diode nor the bandgap reference circuit when I simulated in cadence. Could anyone please tell me why this would happen? |
Title: Re: Diode spectre model Post by Geoffrey_Coram on Oct 9th, 2017, 6:21am I think gap1 and gap2 are only used when tlev=2. |
Title: Re: Diode spectre model Post by Palz on Oct 9th, 2017, 5:15pm Thanks Geoffrey. I think that would be in Hspice. What about spectre models? Do you have any idea how to define levels in a spectre model? |
Title: Re: Diode spectre model Post by Palz on Oct 10th, 2017, 8:22am Sorry! I'm new to device modelling. Tlev worked. Thanks! |
Title: Re: Diode spectre model Post by Andrew Beckett on Dec 21st, 2017, 7:48am By the way, this is all covered in the Spectre® Circuit Simulator Components and Device Models Reference manual. Take a look either via cdnshelp or looking at <SPECTREinstDir>/doc/spectremod/spectremod.pdf - there's a chapter in there in the diode equations, and it covers the different temperature level parameters too. Regards, Andrew. |
