Claims20
A method of creating a model representing an electrical network residing in an integrated circuit package having multiple layers, the method comprising the steps of:
- creating both lateral and horizontal representations of the electrical network for each layer of the integrated circuit package, the lateral representations each being coupled to another lateral or horizontal representation;
- selecting one of the layers;
- and
- removing the lateral representations on the selected layer that are not coupled to one or more horizontal representations.
An apparatus for creating a model representing an electrical network residing in an integrated circuit package having multiple layers, the apparatus comprising:
- means for creating both lateral and horizontal representations of the electrical network for each layer of the integrated circuit package, the lateral representations each being coupled to another lateral or horizontal representation;
- means for selecting one of the layers;
- and
- means for removing the lateral representations on the selected layer that are not coupled to one or more horizontal representations.
A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer usable program code for creating a model representing an electrical network residing in an integrated circuit package having multiple layers, the computer usable program code comprising:
- computer usable program code for creating both lateral and horizontal representations of the electrical network for each layer of the integrated circuit package, the lateral representations each being coupled to another lateral or horizontal representation;
- computer usable program code for selecting one of the layers;
- and
- computer usable program code for removing the lateral representations on the selected layer that are not coupled to one or more horizontal representations.
