Abstract:
1. An apparatus for implementing enhanced wiring capability for electronic laminate packages comprising: a processor; an electronic package design program and an evaluation and pad shape optimizing control program, each including instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, said processor executing said instructions wherein: said electronic package design program receiving electronic package physical design data for an electronic laminate package; said evaluation and pad shape optimizing control program identifying instances of line width and space limit violations in the electronic package physical design data; said evaluation and pad shape optimizing control program evaluating the identified instances of line width and space limit violations using predefined qualified options and predefined tolerance limitations; modifying shapes of predefined package connection pads and maintaining total connection pad area with predefined sizes of the modified connection pads to provide increased wiring space between the modified connection pads, to enlongate the modified connection pad along a predefined axis of a fatigue strain component, and to maintain solder volume within the tolerance limitations for the electronic laminate package; and modifying the electronic package physical design data to optimize shapes to replace the instances of line width and space limit violations.
