Title: Question about MOSFET model options in a commercial process.
Post by tenso on Sep 2^nd, 2017, 5:26pm

I recently got approved to use the TSMC 0.18 um PDK for my academic work and I had some questions about the MOSFET models included as options. This is my first time using a commercial foundry PDK .

Along with nominal, medium and native options, there are macro NMOS , macro PMOS model options for both 1.8V and 3.3V devices in this process. What are these macro NMOS and PMOS device models and what are they used for?
