Abstract :
In this paper we describe the implementation of a ferroelectric capacitor model inside a commercial circuit simulator by using IMAGe, a new versatile CAD tool to automatic embed semiconductor device models. By using IMAGe, user defined models can be developed quickly, allowing efficient simulation of even large circuits. To outline the performance improvement and flexibility obtained with our tool, we present comparisons with both simulation results of large memory array and simulation of HDL-A ferroelectric capacitor implementation
