Abstract
A method of designing a device includes identifying a pin to be inserted into a first layer of the device, wherein the first layer has a plurality of first routing tracks, and each of the plurality of first routing tracks extend in a first direction. The method further includes identifying a blocking shape on a second layer different from the first layer, wherein the second layer has a plurality of second routing tracks, and each of the plurality of second routing tracks extends in a second direction different from the first direction. The method further includes determining at least one candidate location for the pin in the first layer based on the plurality of first routing tracks of the first layer. The method further includes setting a location for the pin in the first layer based on the determined at least one candidate location.
