When to Use TopMetal2

Hi,

I am using a new process that contains both TopMetal1 and TopMetal2. Unfortunately documentation is not very useful on when to use either one. Wondered if anyone had any advice on the following:

1. When to use TopMetal2
2. Which is better for Bonding

Thanks.

    Hi ChrisDG,

    You didn't mention

    1) what you are trying to do. Are you modeling transmission lines?

    2) what tool you are using. Layout? Transmissionline library? mtline?

    3) and the version of that tool. IC617? Spectre16.1?

    4) what documentation/manual (the name and version).

    So, it's pretty hard to know what you are trying to do.

    best regards,
    Tawna
