Which Spice model

I'm confused !

So far for my self study of analogue design I have used the spice data of a MOSFET as found in Allen/Holberg ie 1um gate..

I have been trying to tie up the theory of ring oscillators to ADS simulations and came across a worked example using the CN20 process.

Looking on the web I found several spice models for this process one being BSIM2 and the other BSIM4, but they give completely different results when running transient/HB simulations - why should this be ?

Is there 'popular' spice model that is commonly used throughout industry that I could adopt ? and which spice model should I go for ?

ie which BSIM and level and from which fab process ?

cheers

Re: Which Spice model

Different CMOS theory books follow different spice models.
The industry standard is Bsim3 parameters.
here's bsim3 parameters for tsmc 0.35u compatible with spice3/ngspice
(available from mosis site)
