Background technology
Diode is a kind of important semiconductor devices in the SIC (semiconductor integrated circuit), and it is used in the integrated circuit technology field widely.In order to predict the Performance And Reliability of diode component in its residing environment, need carry out emulation to diode.
SPICE (simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis) is for being the circuit simulation program of being developed in 1972 by California, USA university Bai Keli branch school.Subsequently, version is brought in constant renewal in, and function constantly strengthens and be perfect.SPICE was decided to be the American National industrial standard in 1988.It can carry out simulation analysis to numerous components and parts.In the process of extracting diode SPICE model, generally need to extract the model that is applicable to different simulator formats.
Two kinds of simulator formats that present industry member generally adopts are HSPICE and SPECTRE.All there is very big difference in these two kinds of emulators at aspects such as the equivalent electrical circuit of diode model, computing formula, simulation process.
In HSPICE emulator diode SPICE model, have only model parameter of IK to can be used to the characteristic of the big current injection area of match territory distortion electric current.With regard to the HSPICE emulator, its diode SPICE model is when the big current injection area of match territory distortion current characteristics, and capability of fitting has bigger limitation.In SPECTRE emulator diode SPICE model, there are two model parameters of IK and IKP to describe area-type and all elongated diodes characteristic respectively at big current injection area territory distortion electric current.These characteristics have improved the capability of fitting of the diode SPICE model of SPECTRE emulator.
Usually modeling engineering teacher generally takes carry out the extraction of the model parameter of HSPICE and two kinds of simulator formats of SPECTRE respectively independently with a kind of diode.Adopt the SPICE model modelling approach of existing this diode multiple simulator format, although finally can both obtain the fitness between the model emulation and test result preferably respectively, but destroyed compatibility with the model parameter of a kind of model parameter of diode HSPICE simulator format and SPECTRE simulator format to the model parameter of two kinds of simulator formats.Simultaneously, the modeling efficiency of diode also is subjected to bigger influence.
