Abstract
An apparatus includes a contact grid array disposed on a substrate in a non-orthogonal row-column format with connection elements arranged in a hexagonal configuration. The contact grid array has an orientation based, at least in part, on an area available for the contact grid array on the substrate. A method to determine the orientation of the contact grid array includes identifying the area available for a contact grid array on a substrate and determining the orientation for the contact grid array based, at least in part, on the area available for the contact grid array on the substrate.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying, with a processing device, an area available for a contact grid array on a substrate;
- and
- determining, with the processing device, an orientation for the contact grid array having a non-orthogonal row-column format with multiple connection elements arranged in a hexagonal configuration based, at least in part, on the area available for the contact grid array on the substrate.
An apparatus including a memory device storing instructions configured to cause a processing device to perform operations comprising:
- identifying an area available for a contact grid array on a substrate;
- and
- determining an orientation for the contact grid array having a non-orthogonal row-column format with multiple connection elements arranged in a hexagonal configuration based, at least in part, on the area available for the contact grid array on the substrate.
An apparatus comprising:
- a contact grid array disposed on a substrate in a non-orthogonal row-column format with connection elements arranged in a hexagonal configuration, wherein the contact grid array has an orientation based, at least in part, on an area available for the contact grid array on the substrate.
