4. Check and saved without / after rectify any warnings and errors
5. ADE L was invoked for device simulation
6. DC analysis was chosen
6. “VDS” was chosen as component, “dc” was selected as parameter for “x-
axis” and appropriate value assigned to minimum and maximum
7. Drain current (“Id”) was chosen as output
8. Parametric analysis was chosen from “Tool” and appropriate value for vgs and
step sizes were given.
9. Schematic was simulated
10. Channel length modulation parameter (λ) was determined.
Wave form:
