Abstract

The present invention is directed to methods for optimizing package and silicon co-design of an integrated circuit. A composite bump pattern for an integrated circuit is created based on a first library including at least one bump pattern template. PCB and Die constraints of the integrated circuit are then reviewed. A partial package design for the integrated circuit is generated based on a second library including at least one partial package template. A partial silicon design for said integrated circuit is started. A full package design for the integrated circuit is then completed. A full silicon design for the integrated circuit is completed.
