Rib PIN doped cross_section.

Parameters

  • width – ridge width.

  • layer – ridge layer.

  • layer_slab – slab layer.

  • layers_via_stack1 – list of bot layer.

  • layers_via_stack2 – list of top layer.

  • bbox_offsets_via_stack1 – for bot.

  • bbox_offsets_via_stack2 – for top.

  • via_stack_width – in um.

  • via_stack_gap – offset from via_stack to ridge edge.

  • slab_gap – extra slab gap (negative: via_stack goes beyond slab).

  • layer_via – for via.

  • via_width – in um.

  • via_offsets – in um.

  • sections – cross_section sections.

  • kwargs – cross_section settings.
