How to Change the Cross-Section Shape of Traces in SI Wave

This guide will walk you through the steps to change the cross-section shape of traces in SI Wave.

Steps to Change Trace Cross-Section Shape

  1. Open the Layer Stack Up Editor in SI Wave.
  2. Select the desired layer or choose all layers.
  3. Click on the option labeled Trace Cross-Section.
  4. Choose from the available cross-section shapes:
    • Trapezoidal
    • Hexagonal
    • Other shapes as needed
  5. Adjust the parameters to account for etching:
    • Set the ratio or specify dimensions.
    • For example, set the bottom to 100% and the top to 85%.
  6. Click OK to apply the changes.
