#324 GSG / RF Signal Pad and DC Pads Missing Issue created by Ikram-rs22 For RF design from DC to W /D band , the NPN13G2 HBTs are excellent. But a predicament is posed as in the layout section there is no pycell for the DC bias pad and the RF signal pad. The RF input & output signal paths need GSG pads. Also, for RF design, Qucs-s provides cap_rfcmim schematic symbol but there is no pycell for it in klayout. image Although there are some bondpad and cupillar pad, these are not RF pads in the sg13g2_pr gds., The rf_cmim cell is also present here but there is no sg13g2_pr tech file for the library. So the pads are absent in both cases. image RF and DC pads are must for RF design for TIA designs ranging from DC-140 GHz & beyond. IHP-GmbH/IHP-Open-PDK
