Mapping from ADS to Sonnet

Parent Previous Next

This section of the Substrate File setup window controls how the drawing layers from ADS are mapped into Sonnet metal levels. The ADS layers listed are those associated with the layout in which you are presently working. You may control what ADS layers are displayed by using the drop down lists in the Display ADS Layers section of the window. To change the mapping of an ADS layer, select the entry in the Mapping list. Note that the ADS layer name has no relationship to Sonnet’s dielectric layer number or metallization level number. You may not edit this entry. To map the ADS layer, you use the Edit Layer mapping section of the Substrate File Setup window as shown below.

 Mapping from ADS to Sonnet should be done after the Materials and Dielectrics in Sonnet have been defined. See Sonnet Materials and Sonnet Dielectrics.
