MultiApertureMerged

class awg_designer.all.MultiApertureMerged(*args, **kwargs)

Multi aperture specifically consisting of individual apertures merged together.

The aperture itself should be of the deep –> deep type. Designed to be DRC clean.

Note

The full layout of the MultiAperture is not generated from the individual aperture instances. Instead, the full layout is re-generated based on the parameters of the given aperture.

This will only work for a regular, linear, rib-strip aperture. The benefit is that this will generate a layout in which many of the DRC problems are fixed. Those DRC problems are mainly caused by putting the apertures close to each other.

Parameters

List with indices to indicate which apertures are ‘dummy apertures’, meaning they don’t have ports attached to them.

name: String that contains only ISO/IEC 8859-1 (extended ASCII py3) or pure ASCII (py2) characters
