Patent ID: 7472367

Claim:
A method of distributing an array of interconnects on an electronic device, comprising: dividing an array of interconnects on a surface of an electronic device into one or more regions, each region having an associated set of performance requirements; for each region, using predefined performance data for a plurality of interconnect distribution pattern modules to choose from the plurality of interconnect distribution pattern modules at least one interconnect distribution pattern module that satisfies the set of performance requirements for that region, said predefined performance data relating at least one of the performance requirements to at least one parameter of each interconnect distribution pattern; simulating crosstalk distribution within the region using the selected interconnect distribution pattern; generating a performance indication map using the chosen interconnect distribution pattern modules; checking if an interconnect is located in a region in the performance indication map that does not satisfy the performance requirements of the interconnect; and moving the interconnect if it is located in a region in the performance indication map that does not satisfy the performance requirements of the interconnect.
