Abstract:
A flip-chip integrated circuit (IC) comprising:a planar region having a plurality of electronic devices arranged thereon; at least one trace-routing layer above said planar region; a bump pad; an input/output (I/O) device disposed on said planar region; a device pad electrically connected to said I/O device and disposed vertically adjacent to a portion of said I/O device; and an electrically conductive trace, including a first portion between the bump pad and a first position, the first position being in a trace-routing layer and directly above a portion of the I/O device and being horizontally offset from the device pad, and also including a second portion between the first position and a second position that is in a trace-routing layer and directly above the device pad, wherein vertical refers to a first direction along the planar region and horizontal refers to a second direction along the planar region, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction.
