Hi!
I knew the Results Display Window. And I've already done what you
said.
The problem is when I want to dimension a MOS with a current and vgs
defined. If it's in the saturation region, I'll just need the
threshold voltage.
Furthermore, when I look to the vth in the results I see that it isn't
constant because it depends on a lot of things.
I thing that I have to study tthe Spectre Do***entation, as you advice
me.

Thanks again

Sara
