Ashvin, Sounds like you already have the transistor model files, so this is how I would do: 1). for a hand calculation, look at Hspice model file for MOS parameter CJ and CJSW, those are bottom plate and sidewall capacitance. 2). for a simulation, apply an AC voltage source at the nodes(e.g.: drain/source), run .ac simulation, probe the ac current goes into the nodes. the impedance of nodes can be calaculated as: R=V/I, I is your ac current. impedance R=1/(2*pi*f*c). you know the frequceny at which the current is measured, so: c = I/(2*pi*f*V). you can verify whether the simulation results matches the hand calculation. Alternatively, I agree with Raymond, just ask your foundary, their documentation should have these number readily.
