Looking for models of Ge transistors I only found some that behaved like Si
ones having a Vbe of 0.7V. Anyone can tell to find good ones?

Are you looking for Germanium or General Electric ? You
didn't specify a part number..

Not offhand; if nothing else it should be pretty close to set EJ=0.3 or
so, and TT will be much larger.

You'll probably need to roll your own from a datasheet and
measurements. Start with EG=0.67, then twiddle IS, BF and IKF.
Capacitances from the datasheet.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

My son Aaron and I wrote a similar program in Pascal ~1980 (I did the
math, he wrote the code >:-}, back when all we had was Berkeley Spice
Original Crunchy, on a VAX, with models that sucked.

I haven't tested this at all. Please report back success or failure.

Here's one that has the right EG:

.model 2N344 PNP(Is=1e-10 bf=11 Vaf=15 Cje=5p Cjc=2.5p Tf=3n
+ Eg=.67 Rb=100 Re=10)

Thanks. This helps. Sent another post already that seems to be vanished.
