:class:`InterdigitalCapacitor`
==============================


.. py:class:: pyedb.libraries.rf_libraries.base_functions.InterdigitalCapacitor(edb_cell: Optional[pyedb.Edb] = None, fingers: int = 8, finger_length: Union[float, str] = '0.9mm', finger_width: Union[float, str] = '0.08mm', gap: Union[float, str] = '0.04mm', comb_gap: Union[float, str] = '0.06mm', bus_width: Union[float, str] = '0.25mm', layer: str = 'TOP', net_a: str = 'PORT1', net_b: str = 'PORT2')

   
   Inter-digitated comb capacitor with fully parametric fingers.

   All dimensions are stored as native EDB variables so they remain
   editable inside AEDT after the library cell is imported.

   :Parameters:

       **fingers** : :class:`python:int`, :obj:`default` 8
           Number of finger pairs.

       **finger_length** : :class:`python:str`, :obj:`default` "0.9 mm"
           Length of each finger (string with units).

       **finger_width** : :class:`python:str`, :obj:`default` "0.08 mm"
           Width of each finger.

       **gap** : :class:`python:str`, :obj:`default` "0.04 mm"
           Gap between adjacent fingers.

       **comb_gap** : :class:`python:str`, :obj:`default` "0.06 mm"
           Gap between the two combs at the open end.

       **bus_width** : :class:`python:str`, :obj:`default` "0.25 mm"
           Width of the top/bottom bus bars.

       **layer** : :class:`python:str`, :obj:`default` "TOP"
           Layer on which the capacitor is drawn.

       **net_a** : :class:`python:str`, :obj:`default` "PORT1"
           Net for the bottom comb.

       **net_b** : :class:`python:str`, :obj:`default` "PORT2"
           Net for the top comb.











   .. rubric:: Examples

   >>> idc = InterdigitalCapacitor(fingers=10, finger_length="0.5mm", gap="0.03mm")
   >>> edb = Edb("idc.aedb")
   >>> idc._pedb = edb
   >>> idc.create()
   >>> f"{idc.capacitance_pf:.2f} pF"
   '0.74 pF'
