Abstract :
Substrate crosstalk phenomena are of upcoming importance for the layout verification process. Approaches exist for the analysis of far-distance interference of integrated devices and also for the simulation of short-distance disturbances. For a real three-dimensional simulation of several tens of transistors, the use of a device simulator is unfeasible. By using SPICE or a derivative it is possible to simulate three-dimensionally extracted layout areas. This paper presents the use of an extended bipolar transistor model. It is derived from the bjt503, also known as the Mextram transistor model. The main extension is the use of more than one substrate contact to model the connection to the surrounding substrate material
