How to plot a MOS's Vth vs TEMP curve?
May 11th, 2006, 1:38am
 
Can I use Spectre to get the Vth-T curve and some other MOS parameters such as mobility-T curve? and How to ?

you can do a parametric analysis with temp and plot the operating point of the transistor from the calculator.

for example plotting:

OP("/M0","vth")

after the parametric simulation will give you what you want.

I'm not sure how you can do it using the DC sweep temp function alone.

thanks,
it works using the parameter analysis.
but using the DC temp sweep , i  can get only one point, not a vth-T curve.  why?...

That's because you are picking data from the operating point analysis (dcOp) which is run once at the beginning of the simulation.

When doing a parametric sweep, you are actually running multiple simulations, so the operating point is saved for each point and you can get a curve.

as for other parameters,
getData("/M0" ?result "dcOp")~>?
will list all dc operating points parameters that are available such as gm, gds, vdsat etc.

all should be documented in the simulator's reference manual.

Add a command to your netlist like this (via including an extra file):
save m0:all

and it will save all the swept operating points, allowing you to do the plot you want.

This works for me!

Cheers,

Hello Guys,

I face the same problem, i need to draw mobility versus Vgs
from a DC OP i simply can't find this info. there is U0 which is the mobility at zero bias , but i need to draw the dependance on Vgs

Any suggestion appreciated
