You can use the wire_edge_enlargement statement with the wire_top_enlargement statement or the wire_bottom_enlargement statement, or both in the ICT file. If you use the wire_edge_enlargement statement with either or both of these statements, the width of the wires defined by wee_widths must be biased as follows:
drawn_width + ((top + bottom) / 2)
When calculating resistivity as a function of width, you must use the wire_top_enlargement and wire_bottom_enlargement values to correct the resistance-width pairs. If a table of wire-edge enlargement values is available, Fire & Ice QX uses the wire widths in the table, which always include biasing and wire-edge enlargement. If this table is not available, Fire & Ice QX calculates the resistance as follows:
All measurements are in microns unless otherwise specified.

You can specify the field-value pairs in any order.
The syntax for planar dielectrics contains the following parameters:
· name
Specifies the name of the dielectric layer.
· conformal false
Specifies that the dielectric is planar. This field is required.
· height value
Specifies the layer's height above the substrate.
· thickness value
Specifies the layer's thickness.
· dielectric_constant value
Specifies the dielectric constant for this material.
· delta_height value
Specifies the layer's height relative to the top of another layer.
· delta_layer layer_name
Specifies the reference layer for delta_height. It must be a layer that has already been defined. A reference layer can be a conducting layer or a dielectric layer.
· upto value
Specifies the layer's top surface height above the substrate. This value is equal to the height plus the thickness. You only need to specify two of the three parameters (height (or {delta_height, delta_layer}), thickness, upto) to complete the geometrical definition of a dielectric layer.
The required fields in the specification for planar dielectrics are conformal, dielectric_constant, and two of the following three parameters:
· height (or {delta_height and delta_layer})
· thickness
· upto
