class kqcircuits.test_structures.junction_test_pads.junction_test_pads.JunctionTestPads[source]

Bases: TestStructure

Base class for junction test structures.

default_type = 'Junction Test Pads Simple'
produce_squid(transf, only_arms=False, **parameters)

Produces the squid.

Creates the squid cell and inserts it with the given transformation as a subcell. Also inserts the squid parts in “base_metal_gap_wo_grid”-layer to “base_metal_gap_for_EBL”-layer. It also returns a right_side refpoint, calculated from base_metal_gap_wo_grid layer’s bounding box to help with arm_length calculation in JunctionTestPads.

Parameters:

  • transf (DCplxTrans) – squid transformation

  • parameters – other parameters for the squid

  • only_arms – Boolean argument that allows to choose whether to create the arms and the squid device or only the arms

Returns:

Relative refpoints for the squid

Return type:

(dict)
