Here's what is in the Berkeley stack; All of these came when we got
a copy of Spice 3F5 some time ago. Some we may have requested specialy at
that time.
1. Spice3 Version 3F5 User's Manual, March 1994
T. Quarles, A. R. Newton, D. O. Peterson, A Sangiovanni-Vincentelli
Five technical reports comprising Thomas Linwood Quarles' Ph.D.
dissertation, 24 April 1989:
2. UCB/ERL M89/42, "Analysis of performance and convergence issues for
circuit simulation"
3. UCB/ERL M89/43, "The front end to simulator interface"
4. UCB/ERL M89/44, "The Spice3 Implementation Guide"
5. UCB/ERL M89/45, "Adding devices to spice3"
6. UCB/ERL M89/47, "Benchmark circuits: results for spice3"
(the missing M89/46 was entitled Spice 3c1 user's guide;
I think it is obsoleted by the 3F5 user's manual).
7. Nutmeg Implementation Guide, November 2, 1990
8. UCB/ERL M90/19 "A Simple Mosfet Model for circuit analysis and its
application to cmos gate delay analysis and series-connected mosfet
structure," Takayasu Sakuri and A. Richard Newton.
9. UCB/ERL M90/90 "Design and Modeling of Deep-Submicrometer mosfets,"
Ph.D dissertation by Min-Chie Jeng. (This is the BSIM2 model)
10. "User's Guide for the BSIM2 Parameter Extraction Program and the
Spice3 with BSIM implementation." J. S. Duster, M. C. Jeng, P. K. Ko, and
C. Hu.
The first six or seven of these appear to be the most relevant to us. Only
the 3F5 manual bears an actual copyright notice, and it explicitly allows
copying, so I should be able to get a local copy shop to reproduce them.
Most of them look like they'll survive another generation or two of
photocopying before they blur into oblivion.
