PDK Files

SiliWiz uses the following technology file for Magic: siliwiz.tech. It has been adapted from the sample_6m tech file, adding a MiM cap device between the metal1 and metal2 layers.

The simulation is powered by a trimmed down version of ngspice, built from the ngspice-minimal branch. This version includes only the Current & voltage sources, BJT, MOS1, Ind, Cap and Res models (see the relevant commit for models included).
