Importing MOS library

The following error exists in simulating MOSs:

@ArashKat please verify your PDK installation. Please checkout this manual. The core issue is probably:

1. you do not have the osdi model comiled
2. your ./home/$user/.spiceinit file does not exists

Our MOS devices use PSP model written in Verilog-A, we distribute source code but the user have to compile it using open source tool openvaf. The binary have to be placed in $PDK_ROOT/libs.tech/ngspice/openvaf
and .spiceinit have to point to this location.

Hi @ArashKat, could you please check the recommendation and give your feedback if it solves your issue?

[ArashKat]

Hello the manual was very helpful ... it solved the issue: however it doesn't recognize the resistors; Xschem crashes and suddenly will be closed when I select a pdk's resistor.

Hi @KrzysztofHerman, could you please take a look?

For me, the problem is that after running the install.py I did not create any r3_cmc file .... I added them manually using this link: https://github.com/dwarning/VA-Models/releases/tag/v2.2 by copying the VA-Models-osdilibs.zip file to $PDK_ROOT/$PDK/Lib.tech/ngspice/openvaf directory and added the following command: osdi '$PDK_ROOT/$PDK/libs.tech/ngspice/openvaf/osdilibs/r3_cmc.osdi' to .spiceinit in $HOME still Xschem jump out when I select the resistors
