There have been quite a lot of interest on the SPICE parameters provided by the MOSIS Service. I would like to add some information to this topic. At present, MOSIS provides SPICE parameters for the LEVEL-2 and LEVEL-4 (BSIM) models. The LEVEL-2 model parameters are available for the 3-um and 2-um technologies, while the LEVEL-4 parameters are available for the 2-um and 1.2-um technologies. General-purpose parameter-extraction programs, such as SUXES from Stanford U. and TECAP-3 from H.-P. are used to extract the LEVEL-2 parameters. The BSIM_extract software, which is dedicated to the LEVEL-4 model, is used to extract the LEVEL-4 model parameters. The new release of the TECAP-3 program also provides the option of LEVEL-4 model parameter extraction. Since MOSIS is committed to serve its users well, there have been efforts inside MOSIS on the possible improvement of parameter extraction and efforts to search for better SPICE models. I am involved in these efforts and would like to hear your suggestions.
