Klayout — 25d View
Example:
Unlike a full 3D process simulator that models physical topology (like planarization or conformal etching), the 2.5D view is an extruded 2D view klayout 25d view
Foundry DRC rules often involve complex spacing checks within a single layer (e.g., "Metal width > 0.5µm for power lines"). In 2.5D, narrow lines look like tall, thin skyscrapers that appear unstable, making visual identification of "weak" geometries intuitive. Example: Unlike a full 3D process simulator that
