I was trying to add roughness (LER) to a contact hole:

 

# add silicon substrate
addrect;
set("name","substrate");
set("x",0);
set("y",0);
set("z",0);
set("x span",10e-6);
set("y span",10e-6);
set("z span",1e-6);
set("material","Si (Silicon) - Palik");

# add contact hole
addcircle;
set("name","hole");
set("x",-2e-6);
set("y",-2e-6);
set("z",0.5e-6);
set("radius",0.05e-6);
set("material","Air");

# replicate contact holes along x direction
selectall;
replicatexy(11,1,0.2e-6,0);

# delete unwanted holes
selectpartial('hole');
delete;

# replicate contact holes along y direction
selectall;
replicatexy(1,11,0,0.2e-6);

# delete unwanted holes
selectpartial('hole');
delete;

 

# add roughness to all holes

selectall;

addroughness(

"x",

0,

"y",

0,

"z",

0,

"r",

5e-9,

20e-9,

"seed",

randomint(100000)

);

 

However I get this error:

- replicatexy is not a valid function or variable name

- line 15: matrices can not exceed 8 dimensions

Can someone help me to solve with this problem? 

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Ashish Khemka.

I can add the roughness based on the link that you shared to me.

But I want to add a beam structure and i want to implement the roughness on the surface area of the block by using script. 

If its not troubled you. Can you help and show me how to do that?

 

Thank you very much.

 

Best regards,
