Abstract:
1. In a computer, a method of selecting connectivity routing from a plurality of top side conductors of an integrated circuit package with a plurality of bottom side conductors of the integrated circuit package, the method comprising: defining a ring of the top side conductors from a layout of the top side conductors using a graphical user interface, wherein the ring of the top side conductors contains one row of top side conductors; defining a top signal set containing a plurality of X top side conductors arranged in a linearly adjacent relation in a first direction and located in the one row of the ring of top side conductors; defining a ring of the bottom side conductors from a layout of the bottom side conductors using the graphical user interface, wherein the ring of the bottom side conductors contains at least X rows of bottom side conductors; and selecting the connectivity routing to electrically connect the top signal set to a bottom signal set of the bottom side conductors while maintaining the top signal set linear adjacent relation, wherein bottom signal set is arranged in a linearly adjacent relation orthogonal to the first direction.
