Tutorial_2

1. Schematic for an NMOS device (W/L = 6u/600n) with pins G, D, S and B to gnd!.

2. Next step is to create a symbol.

3. Using the symbol of the NMOS a schematic was created for simulations.

4.   After ADE L was open, we can set the parameters for the simulation.

    a. Choosing Analyses dc.

    b. Choosing the model for the simulation from HOME/ncsu-cdk-1.6.0.beta/models/spectre/standalone and select ami06N.m.

    c.  From the menu tab go to tools->parametric analysis and set up with SWEEP1 LINEAR. Select VGS as the variable and go  from 0 to 5 and STEPSIZE of 1 and then click the green button.

9. A similar procedure was followed for the PMOS.

    a. Schematic with pins G, S, D and B.  And then a symbol was created.

NMOS Device.

 

1. Schematic for simulating ID v. VDS of an NMOS device for VGS varying from 0 to 5 V in 1 V steps while VDS varies from 0 to 5 V in 1 mV steps. Use a 6u/600n width-to-length ratio.

3. Schematic for simulating ID v. VSD (note VSD not VDS) of a PMOS device for VSG (not VGS) varying from 0 to 5 V in 1 V steps while VSD varies from 0 to 5 V in 1 mV steps. Use a 12u/600n width-to-length ratio.
