Abstract
A novel method is provided for checking BGA substrate design made using an APD design tool. User's netlist containing information on a die to be mounted on the BGA substrate is entered into an interface software system providing an interface to the APD design tool. The interface software system extracts the design netlist generated from the APD design of the BGA substrate, and compares this netlist to the user's netlist. If no differences are reported, the BGA substrate design is considered to be correct.
