Stackup Manager

If a Metal Technology Layer is assigned a thick metal, then how it appears in the stackup manger is based on its relationship to the dielectric layers. The metal height is not drawn to scale in the stackup manager, but if its thickness is less than that of the dielectric into which it extends, then the symbol covers half of the thickness of the dielectric layer. If it is the same thickness as the dielectric layer then the symbol is drawn the same height as the dielectric. If it is thicker than the dielectric then it also extends half of the height of the next dielectric layer. Examples of thick metal which extends upward and downward are shown below. Note that all dielectric layers are represented as the same height in the stackup manager regardless of their actual physical thickness.
