hello Arpad,

i mistakenly took for granted that you had read the IEEE papers referred
by Herbert, more so because it quotes one of your papers as reference
(which i could not trace).
Anyway, the alpha and beta are same/similar to the Kpu_rise and Kpd_fall.
Yes, i got the point you made that the Vt curves correspond to gate
voltages which, in turn, is related to time since the gate voltage
develops(fall/rise) with time.
I now hope things are pretty clear to me.

Thanks to you and all others on the SI-list for helping me understand
about what IBIS represents and how it is interpreted by simulators.

regards
ADEEL
