There is a spice file for diode. I wanna convert the spice file to the technical file
(*.scs) for spectre simulation in Cadence (Sun Solaris Unix).

The spice file content is below ;

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*DEVICE=PMBD7000,D
* PMBD7000 D model
* created using Parts release 6.2i on 03/26/97 at 13:51
* Parts is a MicroSim product.
.MODEL PMBD7000 D
+ IS=6.0289E-9
+ N=2.1283
+ RS=1.0000E-3
+ IKF=37.638E-3
+ CJO=593.63E-15

To convert hspice netlist to spectre netlist:
spp -convert < hspice_netlist.sp > spectre_netlist.scs

spp only converts the format of the netlist and it can not convert spice model to spectre model. This is why foundries usually provide both hspice and spectre models.
A good news is that cadence did a lot efforts to make spectre compatible with hspice models and netlist. You can use spectre to run the hspice netlist without any modification.
