Technology Layers
Technology Layers
Technology Layers are introduced in Release 14 to enable smoother transition with EDA frameworks and design flows. A Technology Layer is a definition for associated objects in your Sonnet EM projects, which groups common attributes such as a layer name, physical location within the technology stackup, metal properties, and meshing controls.
Technology Layers may be defined for planar metal, vias and dielectric bricks. They can also be defined automatically by GDSII or DXF Imports, on a one-to-one basis with GDSII stream or DXF layer names—thus giving Sonnet the ability to preserve CAD layers from your source tool in both import and export. Technology Layers make it possible for you to retain the same drawing layers that you may be using in your RF design framework, without need to redefine them in Sonnet.
