LT Spice diode model

Hi,

I'm adding a diode model, SMS7621-079, to the LT Spice standard.dio file. My
diode data sheet shows Spice parameter Cjo = 0.1 pF, but the parts have a
typical capacitance of 0.22 pF. I assume the extra capacitance is the package,
which wouldn't behave like Cjo. 

I don't see an obvious place, in the model script, for the package c. There are
some "sidewall" params, but I don't know how they behave. I guess I could add
discrete caps to my schematic, but that's inelegant.

There appears to be no way to specify diode inductance! I'd have to do that
outboard, too.

Any thoughts?

(I'm designing a diode 2-input AND gate! I never took any digital design
courses, but I recall seeing a diode AND on a blackboard as I walked pass the
class in the hallway. I'd use the Hittite part, but it's almost $600.)

Oh come on.  This modeling issue has been discussed.  You must use the
subcircuit modeling method to include the packaging parasitics.
