Hi all, I run into an error in hspice saying that my reference is not found. But i included the model file and the simulation log also shows the model file is included.

Also, the model didn't set lmax/min or wmax/min...and W/L of 100u/.35u isn't really an outrageous number...

Please help. THanks!

error message:
--------------------------------
Code:
**error** reference        0:nmos not found, or instance width or length does not fit into the wmax/wmin or lmax/lmin range.
     it was referenced in element         0:mn
     the channel width=   1.000E-04 and length=   3.500E-07
   the line number was      11
--------------------------------

here's the spice deck

Code:
.inc 'tsmc018.txt'
.param ds=0.9
.param gs=1

vdsn vdn 0 dc 'ds'
vgsn vgn 0 dc 'gs'
mn vdn vgn 0 0 nmos L=.35u W=100u

.op
.options nomod dccap post brief
.dc gs 0.2V 1.2V 10mV

and the model file is attached
