Description:  The analytical MOSFET models used in SPICE circuit
simulation are the key "communication vehicle" between a circuit
designer and the fabrication facility; unfortunately, they are often a
source of great misery to the designer.  This workshop will examine the
SPICE MOSFET models from the perspective of the circuit designer.  The
basics of analytical MOS modeling will be followed by a detailed
discussion of the various MOSFET models used in SPICE, along with an
examination of other issues such as gate capacitance and statistical
simulations.  Submicron and analog design aspects will be emphasized
throughout.

Benefits:  Circuit designers will learn to make more effective use of
foundry MOS models, and also will learn how to judge if a particular
model is appropriate for design and/or if it can be improved.

Intended Audience:  Circuit designers of all types and levels of
expertise.

About the Instructor:  Daniel Foty is the founder and President of
