How is temperature‑dependent conductivity handled in Clarity 3D when using encrypted iRCX (.ircx) or Tech (.tech) files during GDS-to-SPD translation?

ALLpdf

Clarity 3D does not use the iRCX/Tech or GDS files during simulation run time to compute temperature‑dependent material properties. These files are referenced only during the translation stage (to generate the SPD file).

To observe temperature‑dependent effects in simulation results when using an *encrypted .ircx/tech file, follow the steps below:

  1. Open GDS to SPD Translator.

  2. Browse and upload the GDS file.

  3. In the Map File section, specify a map file. You can provide a .map, .layermap, or .ircx file.

  4. Browse and upload the corresponding technology (.tech) file.

  5. Go to Settings to open the GDS to SPD Settings window. Navigate to the Options tab, enable the "Create temperature dependent metal" option, and then click OK.

  6. Run the translation and perform the simulation using the generated SPD file.

After enabling this option, you will observe that the simulation results now vary with temperature.
