Abstract
A method of routing connections of an integrated circuit package having a set of top side conductors and bottom side conductors. The method includes defining at least one distribution layer within the package, and positioning a set of upper vias between the set of top side conductors and the distribution layer. A set of lower vias is positioned between the distribution layer and the set of bottom side conductors that correspond to the set of top side conductors. One or more connections on the distribution layer are routed between the set of upper vias and the set of lower vias. In this manner, the one or more top side conductors are coupled automatically with their respective one or more bottom side conductors. This process may be implemented using one or more computer modules or computer operations.
