A new approach to compact semiconductor device modelling with Qucs Verilog-A analogue module synthesis by Brinson, Mike, Kuznetsov, Vadim

“…The Qucs equation-defined device is an extension of the SPICE style non-linear B type controlled source which adds dynamic charge properties to behavioural sources, allowing for example, voltage and current dependent capacitance to be easily modelled. Following, the standardization of Verilog-A, it has become a preferred hardware description language where analogue models are written in a netlist format combined with more general computer programming features for sequencing and controlling model operation. …”
