LOCAL PHASE CORRECTION

The present invention is directed to integrated circuits and methods thereof. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide a local correction for bending communication line pairs. In an IC package, a pair of communication lines is used to provide a physical link for data communication between two or more components. At regions where the pair of communication lines is bent, the inner bend line is extended in length and shaped to match the length of the outer bend line while preserving integrity of its signal propagation characteristics, thereby providing local phase correction. There are other embodiments as well.
