Abstract
A power distribution system for distributing external power across a die is disclosed, wherein the die has multiple sides, and a plurality of power bond pads located along each of the sides for receiving an external power signal. The system and method include patterning a plurality of straight power lines that form a single-layer power mesh diagonally across the die to connect the power bond pads that are located on two different sides of the die. As an alternative to the first embodiment, the diagonal power lines are patterned in a stair-step configuration for ease of manufacturing.
