Method, system, and product to efficiently route interconnections following a free form contour

Abstract:

An approach is described for a method, system, and product for detection of contours for data pads of a device having a free form contour, clustering integrated circuit pads and data pads, performing any angle routing based on a contour angle, and performing resistance balancing. For example, data pads of a display device having one or more curved contours (e.g. data pads arranged on an arc) are identified. Corresponding data pads and integrated circuit pads are then grouped together for routing interconnections and subsequently routed using any angle routing instead of merely routing interconnections with turns having 90-degree or 45-degree angles. Finally, the routed interconnects may be further refined/modified to balance resistances of the interconnections.
