Saber Parameter Sweeps

When using the Saber simulator, IC-CAP allows parameter sweeps of only parameters and Saber global variables, such as the global variable for temperature called TEMP. Like SPICE-type simulators, specifying parameter sweeps for devices and circuits is done the same way. Parameter names must be entered in the Name field of the Input table exactly as they appear in the Parameters table. An input for vto, with Mode set to P, is added to the nmos2/short/idvd setup, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 13 Saber Parameter Sweep Setup Example

The following figure shows the resulting plot.

For additional information on sweeping parameters, refer to "Specifying Parameter or Variable Sweeps" in the User's Guide.

The following sections of this chapter describe in more detail each of the steps in these simulation overview examples.
