High Density Interconnect Working with HDI October 2019 26 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. Parameters Parameters associated with the fillet application include: ■ Allow DRCs: Creates fillets with DRCs. ■ Dynamic Fillets: Updates per parameter settings; fillets are then automatically added/ deleted during design editing. ■ Curved Fillets: Adds curved style fillets whose radius is determined by the algorithm. ■ Max Line Width: Prevent fillets from being added when the junction line width is equal to or greater than this value. Fillet Algorithm The algorithm first tries to create the fillet at the desired angle, tangent to the pad. If the fillet cannot be created, the angle increments to the Max Angle. If the fillet length, pad tip to vertex of fillet, is greater than the Max Offset, the vertex is adjusted by an amount to satisfy the Max Offset requirement. The end points of the fillet are adjusted by the same amount to maintain the angle. Reporting The Missing Fillets Report lists junctions with missing or partial fillets and is accessed with Tools – Reports or Tools – Quick Reports.
