Recently, nonlinear dielectrics such as ferroelectrics, relaxors and tunable capacitors are desired to be handled in circuit simulators. We have developed software for the simulation of P-E curves. In the simulation process, ferroelectricity was simulated by assuming the distribution of domain-switching probability by electric field. Two Gaussian distribution functions were required to accurately simulate a wide variety of ferroelectrics. The simulation technique was adaptable from tunable capacitor materials to normal ferroelectrics. Software was developed to generate "netlist" data for the SPICE circuit simulator.
