Abstract

A method for interconnecting a plurality of dies. The method generally includes receiving a plurality of interconnect requirements for the dies. The interconnect requirements may include a priority for each of a plurality of nets. A position and an angle for one of the dies relative to a substrate may be calculated in response to the interconnect requirements. A plurality of nets may then be routed among the dies and a plurality of substrate pads defining external connections for the substrate. The dies may be mounted to the substrate after routing has been finalized.
