MOS parameters in Spectre tools Result Browser
Jan 21^st, 2007, 6:37pm

In dcOpInfo-info, A MOS device has parameters such as Cbb cbd cbg cbs cdb...There are parasitic capacitances from each node to all of the nodes. Generally we need Cgs to calculate the gate parasitic capacitance. But now we have Cgs/Csg. So I am confused. To calculate the node capacitance, we should use Cgs or Csg, or the sum of them??

I suggest using the search capability of this forum to find your answer... Regards, Andrew.

So is it ture to say that the capacitances calculated by Spectre are in fact not physically exsit and I can't use Cgs /Cgd to evaluate the gate and drain capacitance?? Thank you again.
