si_fab.all.ProbePad

class si_fab.all.ProbePad

RF access line for high-frequency RF probes.

This probe pad is fully parametric, the number of probe pads can be customised by specifying the right number of port names and geometrical parameters.

Multiple traces on one side can be joined into a common trace at the other side by specifying overlapping center points.

Parameters:

layer: __Layer__

Metal layer on which the pads are drawn

port_names: list

Names of the electrical ports

distance: float and number > 0

end-to-end distance between the start and end

end_lengths: ndarray

Lengths of the end side

end_centers: ndarray

Coordinates of the center of the end side

end_widths: ndarray

Widths of the end side

start_lengths: ndarray

Straight lengths of the start side

start_centers: ndarray

Start y coordinates of the center of the start side

start_widths: ndarray

Widths of start side
