PCell Reference

The PCell (for ‘parametric’ cell) is the most basic class in IPKISS. It is used to describe the behavior of an optical or electrical component, such as its physical geometries, the connectivity, the compact models used to describe the behavior to a circuit simulator, and so on.

A PCell has properties and views. Properties are documented in the pages below, for views you can have a look at the different reference pages (layout, netlist, models)
