Title: ADS Device Models
Post by sabawat on Jan 27^th, 2010, 7:17am

hi! all,

can anybody tell me the procedure to add a device model in ADS?

furthur..,

if i have a TSMC 180nm file can i use that in ADS? or is there any other designkit to download and install
how to display the process parameters of a specific technology in ADS?

Thanks in Advance...

I can't understand meaning of your questions.

What do you mean by "ADS Device Models" ?
It means device model file of ADSsim Netlist Syntax ?
ADS can understand device model files of Cadence Spectre Netlist Syntax directly.

What do you mean by "the process parameters" ?

What do you mean by "TSMC 180nm file" ?

Use correct terminologies.
See the followings.

Currently many foundry come to not provide ADS design kit for new process.
Why don't you use Agilent RFDE2009 or Agilent GoldenGate 4.4.0 with PDK for Cadence Spectre ?

Of course, you can create ADS design kit from design kit for other simulators such as Cadence Spectre.

hi...

i understand from the links you gave, that, in ADS we need to install a design kit for a specific technology before simulating.

thank u for that..

where to get the deisgnkit for 0.35um process ..

No one can know such thing except for you.
