       abstract = "Simulation models for semiconductor elements like MOS transistors are of great
         interest in the field of circuit simulation (MOS : metal oxide semiconductor). Because of the
         nonlinearity of the terminal current and charge functions with respect to the input voltages, the
         derivatives of these transistor functions are needed In this paper, we compare different automatic
         differentiation (AD) tools in a concrete application of large transistor models. First, results
         using the method of differentiation `by hand` are shown. Then, results are presented for the
         application of the AD tools ADIFOR, Odyss{\'e}e, and the Fortran 90 extension ADOL--F to
         MOS transistor simulation models. On a higher level of modeling (i.e., on the functional description
         itself), an operator-based system SYPERB using the programming language PASCAL-XSC is proposed. This
         tool enables not only reading, creating, and evaluation of the mathematical formulas, but also
         differentiation using different kinds of arithmetics as well as the forward or the reverse mode of
         automatic differentiation.",
