CIDER is a mixed-level circuit and device simulator. CIDER attempts to
|
|
provide greater simulation accuracy than a stand-alone circuit or device
|
|
simulator can provide. CIDER is based on the sequential mixed-level
|
|
circuit and device simulator, CODECS. In common with CODECS, CIDER embeds
|
|
the circuit simulator, SPICE3, which provides circuit simulation
|
|
capabilities, analytical models for semiconductor devices, and an
|
|
interactive user interface. An interface to the captive device simulator,
|
|
DSIM, provides accurate, one- and two-dimensional numerical models based
|
|
on the solution of Poisson's equation, and the electron and hole current-
|
|
continuity equations. The input format of CIDER couples SPICE-like
|
|
circuit descriptions to a device description format similar to the one
|
|
used by the PISCES device simulator developed at Stanford University.
|
|
As a result, CIDER should seem reasonably familiar to designers already
|
|
accustomed to both these tools.

SPICE is a general-purpose circuit simulation program for nonlinear DC,
|
|
nonlinear transient, and linear AC analyses. Circuits may contain resistors,
|
|
capacitors, inductors, mutual inductors, independent voltage and current
|
|
sources, four types of dependent sources, lossless and lossy transmission
|
|
lines (two separate implementations), switches, uniform distributed RC
|
|
lines, and the five most common semiconductor devices: diodes, BJTs, JFETs,
|
|
MESFETs, and MOSFETs.
