Klayout 25d View

If your polygons just look like flat colored pancakes even in perspective mode, check the thickness. Without sidewalls, an extruded polygon is invisible when viewed from the side. Set "Sidewall width" to at least 1 pixel.

Thus, the 2.5D view complements—not replaces—traditional DRC, LVS, and parasitic extraction workflows. If your polygons just look like flat colored

To generate a 2.5D visualization, you must use a specialized script based on the KLayout DRC (Design Rule Check) language Create a Script : Navigate to Tools > 2.5d View > New 2.5d Script Define the Stack function to extrude layers. z(input(1, 0), zstart: 0.1.um, height: 200.nm) : Drag with the right mouse button to

Analog and mixed-signal layouts often require substrate contacts and guard rings. In 2.5D view, one can easily see whether a guard ring fully surrounds a sensitive block across all relevant layers, as the extruded rings appear as walls enclosing the region.

: Your version of KLayout must be compiled with OpenGL support to use this feature.

: Changing the fill color or pattern in the layer list will update the "face" color of the extruded blocks in real-time. Pivot Point
