pdaPosition3D
in 3D, but as chip design needs only x & y and less angles only the x is required. The x, y and z are in micron, while the angles angle, pitch and roll are in degrees.- The x & y locations are for 2D / chip design.
- The z coordinate is mostly oriented at Assembly Design Kits (ADK) but if different layer stacks are used on chip (regrowth, etching) it provides for vertical in-chip coupling.
- The angle is the rotation in x/y plane and often used in all-angle photonics chip design.
- The pitch is the angle off-chip and for chip design mostly for vertical fiber/chip coupling.
- The roll is oriented at Assembly Design Kits (ADK) and not needed in chip design kits (PDK).
