# SQuADDS Layouts

Versioned GDS layout artifacts for the [SQuADDS simulation database](https://huggingface.co/datasets/SQuADDS/SQuADDS_DB).

This initial release contains 3,683 `GeneralizedCapNInterdigital` layouts that
match the `coupler-GeneralizedCapNInterdigital-cap_matrix` simulation rows.
Each layout is recorded in `metadata/manifest.parquet` with a stable layout ID,
an exact-file SHA-256 checksum, its originating simulation `source_id`, and
geometry metadata extracted in micrometers.

## Access

Use the `layout-manifest` configuration to query metadata, then download one
raw GDS file by its `gds_path`. The SQuADDS Python `LayoutClient` verifies the
checksum before returning the local cache path.

The raw files are organized under:

```text
raw/GeneralizedCapNInterdigital/<campaign>/<instance>.gds
```

## Layer Semantics

The current generalized capacitor layout convention is documented in
`metadata/layer-semantics-v1.json`. The GDS files retain their original
simulation-domain geometry, ports, and layer/datatype pairs.

## Provenance

The paired generalized capacitor simulation data was contributed by Saikat Das
of the Levenson-Falk Lab at USC. This repository excludes seven local GDS files
that did not have matching simulation rows.
