The device library supplied with WRspice contains a number of MOS models supplied by various development groups. The models that are currently provided in the device library are listed below. Specific models are selected through the level parameter. Other parameters are specific to that model, and there is not in general a great deal of commonality of parameter names between the various models. Only the simple models provided in SPICE3 will be documented. Documentation for the third-party models is available from the Whiteley Research web site.
The user should see the help system for the most recent list of available models, since the list may have changed after the manual was printed.
Level Name Description 1 MOS The SPICE3 mos1 (Shichman-Hodges) model 2 MOS The SPICE3 mos2 model described in [1] 3 MOS The SPICE3 mos3 semi-empirical model (see[1]) 4 BSIM1 The SPICE3 bsim1 empirical model described in [2] 5 BSIM2 The SPICE3 bsimw model, successor to bsim1 6 MOS The SPICE3 mos6 model 7, 49 BSIM3v3.2 U.C.

The level 44 model installation has not been validated by EPFL, and by agreement until such validation is performed (soon) there is no claim that this is THE EKV model.
Manuals for the BSIM3 and third-party MOS models are available on the Whiteley Research web site.
