Embodiments included herein are directed towards a system and method for implementing an IC package design with an IC package design estimator. Embodiments may include estimating a number of layers for an integrated circuit (IC) package design that includes a plurality of IC die designs. Embodiments may further include determining whether the estimated number of layers can accommodate routing demands for interconnections between the IC package design and each of the plurality of IC die designs. Embodiments may also include identifying a number of layers required to perform routing between each of the plurality of IC die designs. Embodiments may further include determining a power layer or ground layer based upon, at least in part, one or more factors and generating an output for the IC package design based upon, at least in part, the estimated number of layers and the power layer or ground layer.

System and method to estimate a number of layers needed for routing a multi-die package

Disclosed are mechanisms for implementing an IC package layout design with an integrated circuit package design estimator. These mechanisms determine an estimated number of layers for an integrated circuit (IC) package design including one or more IC die designs, determine whether the estimated number of layers suffice to accommodate routing demands for the IC package layout design, determine a power layer and/or a ground layer based in part or in whole upon one or more factors, and generate an output for the IC package layout design based using at least the estimated number of layers and the power layer and/or the ground layer. These mechanisms use input including connectivity information, thermal effects, and/or IC placement information to determine estimates for the total number of layers, layer stack-up, power and ground plane assignment, and via libraries to guide IC package layout design.
