Summary: 
This paper describes a parameter extraction system that can easily accommodate many MOSFET models. The model-adaptability is contributed by tow factors; a model-adaptable initial value estimation technique and an environment which stores and reuses extraction procedures. A designer can easily develop an extraction procedure for a new MOSFET model by modifying a procedure for another MOSFET model developed previously. We have verified that the system is suitable for major SPICE models.
