Abstract
A method of packaging a semiconductor device (10) partitions a distribution substrate (20, 40) into regions (31-34) such that attachment points (22) for electrically coupling to the semiconductor device lie in a first region (31). A first set of conductors are routed from a portion of the attachment points to terminals in a second region (32). Another portion of the attachment points are assigned to available routing channels of the second region for disposing a second set of conductors across the second region to a third region (33). Partitioning improves routing efficiency without requiring objects to be located on grid points or restricting the angles of the routing channels.
