Method, system, and product for generating radial bump patterns

Abstract:

An approach is described for a method, system, and product for generating radial bump patterns. According to some embodiments, the approach includes determining parameters for radial pattern generation in a precomputing phase, creating a radial pattern in a second stage, and generating a layout from the radial pattern in the second stage before manufacture a device embodying the radial pattern. In some embodiments, the radial pattern comprises rings having a number of rows where bump instances are placed and rotated such that they are perpendicular to a radius from a common center line. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the number of rows in a ring is generated pursuant to a set value or dynamically generate based on one or more optimization metrics.
