Not now.
As to when .... I have higher priorities that will keep me busy for
a while, but I would welcome it if you or someone else could do it.
It would be easy to add the LMIN, LMAX, WMIN, WMAX, LREF, WREF
parameters, but resolving the multiple models is significant work.
It is not clear from the HSpice manual what the syntax is when there
are multiple bins. Multiple .model cards with the same name?? It
is also not clear how discontinuities at bin boundaries are resolved.
Apparently, only certain parameters can be binned.
Perhaps the best short term work-around is to add the 6 parameters,
and warn when L and W are out of range. You (the user) would define
multiple models with different names. This way, the only editing
needed would be to manually select the bin.
