Error on SPICE simulation in Tanner

Question

I am trying to make a simple CMOS NOT gate using Tanner. I have made schematic using S-Edit. On simulation, A error is being thrown.

Fatal Error : Missing MOSFET model definition for "NMOS"
Fatal Error : Missing MOSFET model definition for "PMOS"

After some research I found that some model is required. I tried generic_025.lib. But on simulation a new error is being thrown.

Fatal Error : "Generic_025.lib" line 27 Misplaced .ENDL

So, first of all I doubt about .lib file. I think it should be .md file. If it is like that than from where can I download this .md file?

If .lib file is correct than what is error in that file?

Thank you for your help.

This is code of my NOT Gate.

.include "C:/Tanner EDA/Libraries/Generic_025.lib"

*-------- Devices: SPICE.ORDER > 0 --------
MNMOS_1 N_1 N_2 Gnd Gnd NMOS W=2.5u L=250n AS=2.25p PS=6.8u AD=2.25p PD=6.8u  
MPMOS_1 N_1 N_2 Vdd Vdd PMOS W=2.5u L=250n AS=2.25p PS=6.8u AD=2.25p PD=6.8u  
VVoltageSource_1 N_2 Gnd DC 5 

********* Simulation Settings - Analysis section *********
.dc lin VVoltageSource_1 0 5 100m

********* Simulation Settings - Additional SPICE commands *********

.end

And this is the link for Generic_025.lib I used.

Answer 1

Your technology is 0.25um, I see that is true but not true in related place. You have to define this GENERIC_025.ext into L-Edit>>tools>>extruct setup>>extract standart rule set click to activate>>click to pencil on the right>>please browse your extract definition file in order to it accepts that GENERIC_025.ext file. That should be done beforer.

While you are in T-Spice screen, please include "mosfetdegerleri.txt" file instead of your ".include "C:/Tanner EDA/Libraries/Generic_025.lib""
