class kqcircuits.test_structures.tsv_test_pattern.TsvTestPattern[source]

Bases: TestStructure

PCell declaration for TSV test structures which resembles a TSV fencing for a CPW transmission line.

Contains a given number of TSVs in through silicon via-layer with given vertical, horizontal pitch, placeholder for CPW, diameter and the lateral profile of the TSV.

build()[source]

Child classes re-define this method to build the PCell.

PCell parameters:
