spectre diode model
My simulation is about radiation impact so there will be a hugh current
occurs at probably any node of my circuit. The voltage at the node
which got hit will rises of falls extremely fast, that's ok, that's what we
expected. What we didn't expected is that voltage rises above Vdd, say,
20V @ 2V circuit, or below ground. My opinion is, if the bulk-drain and
bulk-source diodes are counted, I think the rising or falling voltage will
stay within certain range.
I know both spice and spectre probably use something like voltage
controlled capacitor for those diode. However, those capacitance won't
keep the current and voltage within limited values.
So, my question is, how to make those simulator to simulate "real" diode?
