Abstract

A packaged circuit with VDDcore contacts in first positions and VSScore contacts in second positions. A redistribution layer is adjacent the integrated circuit, and overlies VDDcore and VSScore mesh layers. First contacts in the redistribution layer are positioned in alignment with the first positions, to make connections between the redistribution layer and the VDDcore contacts. Second contacts are positioned in alignment with the second positions, to make connections between the redistribution layer and the VSScore contacts. First vias are positioned in alignment with the first positions, to make connections between the first contacts and the VDD mesh layer. The traces of the VDD mesh layer are positioned in alignment with the first positions. Second vias are positioned in alignment with the second positions to make connections between the second contacts and the VSS mesh layer. The traces of the VSS mesh layer are positioned in alignment with the second positions.
