Extracting device parameter of an non-conventional FET and use it in Cadence.

[maxxtorr723]

Hi,
I've been assigned to design a non conventional FET (FINFET,Quadfet etc.) in silvaco and then somehow extract and feed the generated device parameters into Cadence for making a single stage amplifier. I wanted to ask if it is possible?? and if yes then how it could be done??
Thank you very much in advance

The Silvaco tools purport to let you turn a device mesh
TCAD simulation into a SmartSPICE model. Pick a LEVEL
that has good correspondence to one of the Spectre
compact models, and use simulator LANG=SPICE to make
Spectre digest the syntax in that model file.

Many, many examples and such on the Silvaco support
pages. You may have to create yourself a customer
account to get at some if it, I don't know how open it
is otherwise.

Thankyou Sir!, You seem to be expert in silvaco can you also please tell me whats the fastest way to learn silvaco? As there are numerous documents/sites on the topic but none seem to help a beginner like me! So as you know much about the software can you tell which file/doc you think you must have known when you started learning silvaco? My another question is that is it a good practice to use devedit? or should we directly write code it in deckbuild?
