Interactive stack

Planar transistor with polysilicon gate, vias, and metals that grow thicker per level.

  • Configure proportions: tweak metalThicknessStep and viaScale constants in the calculator script.
  • Recolor layers: edit CSS vars --metal-tone, --via-tone, --substrate-tone in web/static/style.css.
  • Seed the stack: change data-metal-layers on this card or the default form value.
