Hi,
If you were asked to start a design with a new cmos process technology, e.g. 0.35um cmos technology from some other vendor, how are you going to extract the level 1 parameters in order for you to do the basic calculation? From my point of view, there are two methods.
a. Direct use the parameters value; e.g. for bsim3v3 with level 49, the nmos parameters are vth0 = 0.4, u0 = 380 & etc. You are going to use these parameters as your level 1 parameters?
b. Plot id vs vds for various vgs and w/l ratio. From the plots, calculate the transistor parameters based on level 1 formula?
Or you are having some other methods? Kindly advice. Thanks in advance.
