Introduction
Completely technology-independent tutorials, importing simple SPICE transistor models that you can find on Web and in textbooks
Environment setup
As described in Start a vanilla environment
start a Cadence IC 6.1.5 technology-independent session. Move into your
working directory ~/scratch/tutorials
and source by hand the
/usr/local/config/cds_config/CdsIC_615.rc
Cadence IC configuration script:
cd ~/scratch/tutorials source /usr/local/config/cds_config/CdsIC_615.rc xterm <code> Put a ''setenv MANPATH "" '' in your '.cshrc'' file, then <code> xterm -T "Cadence tututorial" &
You can also put this instructions into a setup.csh
script,
#!/usr/bin/csh setenv MANPATH "" source /usr/local/config/cds_config/CdsIC_615.rc xterm -T "Cadence IC 6.1.5 vanilla environment" &
chmod +x setup.csh ./setup.csh
Basic NMOS and PMOS characteristics
Step-by-step tutorial
this is a PDK-independent tutorial ( using a standard transistor-model! )
You can access the tutorial here. This tutorial has been prepared by Luca Pacher.
