TITLE: Benchmarking Future Deep-Submicron Circuits

The Semiconductor Research Corp. has helped sponsor the  Berkeley
Predictive  Technology  Model project which provides SPICE models
for next  generation  CMOS  processes.   The  models,  which  are
customizable  and  reasonably  accurate,  accommodate  a  set  of
typical BSIM parameters for CMOS and a simple analytical approach
for interconnect capacitance and inductance.  The project enables
circuit design and research to start  even  before  the  advanced
CMOS  process is fully developed.  Default values which represent
a typical technology node are provided.  The  SPICE  model  cards
are  available  for the following feature sizes:  180 nm, 130 nm,
100 nm, 70 nm, 65 nm and 45 nm.  

To download these and the  model itself at no charge, access: PTM
