Automatic generation of compact semiconductor device models using Paragon and ADMS

This work illustrates the automatic generation of a complex semiconductor device model (BSIMSOI) into the Spectre simulator from a higher-level representation using Paragon. Paragon (Chaudharry et al., 2002) is used to capture the conceptual level description of the model and generate Verilog-AMS code. This code is used for quick turn-around model validation and subsequently used by the ADMS model compiler to generate C code for implementation through Spectre's compact model interface (CMI).
