Title: RF CMOS Tech File Models Question
Post by Dshoter on Sep 24^th, 2016, 4:56pm

Hi guys.

Being myself a student from Europe, we have access to foundry's models through Europractice programme. However, in the latest PDKs to which I have direct access, only standard RF models are available, i.e. Virtual Inductor Libraries and RF Modelled NMOS.

Unfortunately, this gives little space of manoeuvre to RF designers. So, I wonder how can I gain access to the complete tech. file models descriptions so I can use then in ADS to simulate fancier structures (e.g. baluns).

Is Europractice providing then directly, or I need to get into direct contact with a given Foundry?

With my best regards.

Hello Dshoter,

I don't know what Europractice can provide you. But are there some manuals, such as electronic characterization or design rule Manuel? Sometimes the electrical parameters are provided in those manuals. Given it is a RF process, even magnetic parameters. Then you can create your own stack file.

Hi,

Thank you for your time. No, I can not find any of those files. We will try to contact MOSIS to see what they can provide us.

Regards.
