Klayout 25d View ~repack~ Jun 2026

A new window will pop up showing your 2D shapes as 3D blocks. Pro-Tips for "Generating a Piece"

| Application | Benefit of 2.5D View | | :--- | :--- | | | Identifying why a specific metal spacing rule failed is easier when visualizing the vertical stacking order, especially in advanced nodes where inter-layer interactions matter. | | MEMS Design | For Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, vertical dimensions (gaps, beams) are functional. The 2.5D view validates the structural integrity of moving parts. | | Photonics | In integrated photonics, waveguide height and sidewall angles are critical. KLayout’s view helps visualize the optical path cross-sections. | | Packaging | Verifying RDL (Redistribution Layer) routing and bump connections in 3D packaging structures. | klayout 25d view
