  • Patent number: 8156461
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a SPICE corner model generating method for generating a SPICE corner model of an MOSFET includes preparing a table of a ratio X regarding a combination of two kinds of MOSFETs selected from N kinds of MOSFETs, the ratio X being a magnitude of a variation of an MOSFET in a case where directions of variations of the two kinds of MOSFETs are opposite directions to a magnitude of a variation of an MOSFET in a case where the directions of the variations of the two kinds of MOSFETs are the same direction, where N is an integer of 2 or greater. The method further includes reading out, when a combination of two kinds of MOSFETs is designated among the N kinds of MOSFETs, a value of the ratio X corresponding the designated combination from the table of the ratio X.

  • Publication number: 20110301932
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a MOSFET model output apparatus is configured to output a MOSFET model for a simulation of a semiconductor circuit. The apparatus includes a shape data input part configured to input shape data of a MOSFET. The apparatus further includes a parameter calculation part configured to calculate a parameter of a parasitic device model to be added to the MOSFET model, using the shape data. The apparatus further includes a MOSFET model output part configured to generate and output the MOSFET model added with the parasitic device model, using the parameter of the parasitic device model. Further, the MOSFET model output part adds different parasitic device models to the MOSFET model in a case where the MOSFET is an N-type MOSFET and in a case where the MOSFET is a P-type MOSFET.
