Hello, Is there any specific way to use the diode from the devices folder. I wanted to just do a small test using it but got a small error saying that "d1n914 diode model cannot be found". I have attached image for reference. Could anyone tell me how to solve this issue? Thank you

You can use the "generic" diode from xschem devices/ directory, but you must provide a model for it. the model is something like this in the spice netlist:

.model D1N914 D ( IS=...

+ ....

+ ...

+  )

this one is a good model for a discrete diode:

.MODEL D1N914 D  ( IS=6.2229E-9
+ N=1.9224
+ RS=.33636
+ IKF=42.843E-3
+ CJO=764.38E-15
+ M=.1001
+ VJ=9.9900
+ ISR=11.526E-9
+ NR=4.9950
+ BV=100.14
+ IBV=.25951
+ TT=2.8854E-9 )

You can embed the model by using a

device_model

attribute in your diode instance. Click the diode, press 'q' and add the above text; remember to use double quotes:

device_model="

...

...

"

@Laxman Chinnannavar: I see that your simulation environment is sky130; If you are using that for your device models, then maybe the proper solution is to choose a sky130 diode device.

@Stefan Schippers I will try this approach. Thanks..
