Brinson, Mike and Kuznetsov, Vadim (2016) Qucs-S a maturing GPL software package for circuit simulation and compact modelling of current and emerging technology devices. In: Modeling of Systems and Parameter Extraction Working Group: 14th MOS-AK ESSDERC/ESSCIRC Workshop, September 12, 2016, Lausanne,.
Qucs-S is a new variant of the popular Qucs GPL circuit simulation package. It has been under development for the last two years. In September 2016 the Qucs-S development team proposes to release for general use, "Release Candidate 7" (RC7). RC7 is the culmination of the last few months development, bringing to the circuit simulation and modelling scene, the most stable version of the package released so far. RC7 also includes an extensive "Qucs-S Help" document which should assist in the use of the package for circuit simulation and compact device modelling. The purpose of this presentation is to outline the simulation and modelling facilities offered by Qucs-S, to demonstrate features not normally associated with SPICE, and to show how Qucs-S can be applied to modelling emerging technology devices. The latter will be introduced using GaN devices as examples of current Qucs-S compact modelling practice.
