Abstract

A method of routing a metal layer trace in an integrated circuit die includes steps of: (a) receiving as input a netlist of an integrated circuit die; (b) selecting a redistribution layer trace from the netlist for routing the redistribution layer trace between an I/O pad of the integrated circuit die and a termination point; (c) comparing a trace width of the redistribution layer trace with a maximum trace width limit; and (d) if the trace width of the redistribution layer trace exceeds the maximum trace width limit, then routing the redistribution layer trace as a plurality of separate parallel traces each having a trace width that is less than the selected maximum trace width limit.
