The embodiments of the present invention provide methods for choosing a
via layout pattern(s) for power distribution network in a package for a
semiconductor die. The chosen via layout pattern allows the power
distribution network to meet the limitation on the loop inductance in
order to avoid causing a large .DELTA.V affecting the functionality of
semiconductor devices on the die. In addition, the chosen via layout
pattern also meets the limitation of total number of vias allowed for the
power distribution network in the package.
