Hole Geometry

#include <psMakeHole.hpp> 

The MakeHole class generates a hole geometry in the z direction, which, in 2D mode, corresponds to a trench geometry. Positioned at the origin, the hole is centered, with the total extent defined in the x and y directions. The normal direction for the hole creation is in the positive z direction in 3D and the positive y direction in 2D. Users can specify the hole’s radius, depth, and opt for tapering with a designated angle. The hole configuration may include periodic boundaries in both the x and y directions. Additionally, the hole can serve as a mask, with the specified material only applied to the bottom of the hole, while the remainder adopts the mask material.

// namespace viennaps
MakeHole(DomainType domain,
        const NumericType gridDelta,
        const NumericType xExtent, 
        const NumericType yExtent,
        const NumericType holeRadius,
        const NumericType holeDepth,
        const NumericType taperAngle = 0., // in degrees
        const NumericType baseHeight = 0.,
        const bool periodicBoundary = false,
        const bool makeMask = false,
        const Material material = Material::None)

Parameter	Description	Type
`domain`	Specifies the type of domain for the hole geometry.	`SmartPointer<Domain<NumericType, D>>`
`gridDelta`	Represents the grid spacing or resolution used in the simulation.	`NumericType`
`xExtent`	Defines the extent of the hole geometry in the x-direction.	`NumericType`
`yExtent`	Specifies the extent of the hole geometry in the y-direction.	`NumericType`
`holeRadius`	Sets the radius of the hole.	`NumericType`
`holeDepth`	Determines the depth of the hole.	`NumericType`
`taperAngle`	(Optional) Specifies the angle of tapering for the hole geometry in degrees. Default is set to 0.	`NumericType`
`baseHeight`	(Optional) Sets the base height of the hole. Default is set to 0.	`NumericType`
`periodicBoundary`	(Optional) If set to true, enables periodic boundaries in both x and y directions. Default is set to false.	`bool`
`makeMask`	(Optional) If set to true, allows the hole to function as a mask, with specified material applied only to the bottom. Default is set to false.	`bool`
`material`	(Optional) Specifies the material used for the hole. Default is set to `Material::None`.	`Material`

Example usage:

C++

// namespace viennaps
auto domain = SmartPointer<Domain<NumericType, D>>::New();
MakeHole<NumericType, D>(domain, 0.5, 10.0, 10.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10., 0., false,
                         false, Material::Si)
    .apply();

Python

domain = vps.Domain()
vps.MakeHole(domain=domain,
              gridDelta=0.5,
              xExtent=10.0,
              yExtent=10.0,
              holeRadius=2.5,
              holeDepth=5.0,
              taperingAngle=10.0,
              baseHeight=0.0,
              periodicBoundary=False,
              makeMask=False,
              material=vps.Material.Si,
             ).apply()
