External documentation and manuals
Device models
BSIM literature is available from UC at Berkeley.
The PSP MOS model has been developed by Arizona State University, Delft University, NXP and CEA Leti and is currently maintained by CEA Leti.
The EKV MOS model has been developed at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne.
ngspice implements the Parker-Skellern JFET model as level 2. It has been developed by Macquarie University.
Various bipolar models are available in ngspice, either fully integrated,
or loadable via the adms option. Mextram is codeveloped by NXP and TU Delft. HICUM is made by TU Dresden
- Mextram 504
- HICUM 0 - 1, HICUM 0 - 2 (no manuals, but 2 research papers)
- HICUM 2
