Hello

 

----> I simulate the following netlist on HSPICE 2002.2.2 and I receive the following warning in the .lis file created:

 ** Warning**: The parameter  tox      will be ignored

--->The netlist is the following:

----> As MOS model I use the following (Briefly speaking I write only the NMOS model):

 

********************** start of model card **************************
*
* Predictive Technology Model Beta Version
* 90nm NMOS SPICE Parametersv (normal one)
*

.model  gpdk090_nmos1v nmos
+Level = 49

+Lint = 1.5e-08 Tox = 2.5e-09
+Vth0 = 0.2607 Rdsw = 180

+lmin=1.0e-7 lmax=1.0e-7 wmin=1.0e-7 wmax=1.0e-4
+Tref=27.0   version =3.1
+Xj= 4.0000000E-08       Nch= 9.7000000E+17
+lln= 1.0000000          lwn= 1.0000000              wln= 0.00
+wwn= 0.00               ll= 0.00

... {The rest of the model card is ommited}

 ********************* end of model card ***************************

 

 

----> What I suppose is that the MOS model I use does not permit the instantiation of parameter Tox in the netlist.

 

---> If I change the model is there a chance that the warning won't be displayed?

---> Only L, W, as, ad, ps, pd MOS parameters can be instantiated in the netlist with values that are different from the ones in the model card???

Thank you for the time you have spent viewing my post

I would be thankful if you proposed me a solution
