Hello everybody, I am running simulation for a depletion mode NMOSFET. I am using ISE-TCAD, I want to ramp the gate and drain voltage from -5V to +5V , but I am not able to do so as there is error. At the begging of the code in the electrode section I defined the gate and drain voltage level to be around -5V and in the solve section I have set the goal to 5V. The error message that I am getting is that it cannot converge at t=0. Can anyone help me with the code. this is the first time I am using this forum, if I done any mistake in the way of asking the question kindly forgive me. Below is the ISE code which I am using.
File {
Grid = "@grid@"
Doping = "@doping@"
Current = "@plot@"
Plot = "@dat@"
*Parameter = "VDMOS"
}

Electrode {
{ Name="Drain" Voltage=-5.0 }
{ Name="Source" Voltage=0.0 }
{ Name="Gate" Voltage=-5.0 }
}

I think my problem is basically in the initialstep, minstep, maxstep and increment. Can anyone suggest me how to modify this.
Thanks in advance
