Hi guys.

I'd like to know what kind of important information one can get from the devices models? What is the importance of knowing what's inside the models lib? (.scs)

Kind regards.
 

.scs is just a Spectre model file, it doesn't have real
deep technology info, just device and subcircuit model
definition.

You can get "information" (how real, to be determined)
about the transistors such as oxide thickness, lithography
adders (deltaL, deltaW), surface mobility, maybe some
junction depths, overlap and junction capacitances and
so on. But not enough to, say, make a faithful device
TCAD mesh that would give you the same electrical
simulation result. Too many aspects of transistor detail
construction, SPICE-like simulators assume to be not
worth modeling / expressing.
