hspice nrd

Newbie,
In my netlist, how to assign the AS, AD, PS, PD, NRD, NRS?
I've a netlist having the S/D_width =0.54(ECS .ini file defined)
it assign AS= W*0.54, PS= 2*W + 2*0.54, NRD(S) = 0.54/W
how to deduce the number 0.54 and AS can not equal to AD? the same
as PS and PD?
 

as ad ps pd mos

The number 0.54 can be deduced from the design rule. If you want different AS and AD values, you should set them separately.
 

mos ad as pd ps nrd nrs

And what're those relations between W,L and AS, AD, PS, PD, NRS and NRD?

Thanks a lot
 

mos parameter

I think you should refer to hspice manue!
 

hspice as ps nrs

As shown in the figure, AS=AD=w*a, PS=PD=W*2+a*2
 

AS=AD=w*a, but PS=PD=W+a*2 because the lateral side of the channel do not count. However, some people use 50% of the lateral side of the channel as a worst case.

PS=PD=W*1.5+a*2.

In "digital integrated circuit design" by Ken Martin they use

lamp = (minimum L) /2

AD=W*5*lamp = AS
PD=PS=W+10*lamp

Ex: for 0.18um lamp=0.18um/2

Cd=Carea+Csw+Cswg
=AD*Cjd+(PD-Weff)*Cjbdsw+Weff*Cjbdswg

It confused me! By process which one or what rule is exactly correct?
 

But I don't know whether it is necessary that these parameter are used in the simulation. I think W and L is enough.

W and L are required, but not the only parameters. Providing AS, AD, PS, PD will give more accurate results.
 

You can use Hspice switch to calculate AD, AS, PD and PS, but I usually include these parameteris in the netlist. The effect of diffusion capacitance has a great impact on circuit behavior. You can not use only W and L in a design, its a big mistake.

what is "HSPICE switch" ?
