Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods associated with electrical routing layout of printed circuit boards and integrated circuit substrates are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus includes a first electrically conductive path that extends through a region, wherein the first electrically conductive path includes a first pad located at a surface of the region, a first via that extends through the region, and a first trace that extends in a first direction. The apparatus further includes a second electrically conductive path that extends through the region, wherein the second electrically conductive path includes a second pad located at the surface and adjacent to the first pad, a second via that extends through the region, and a second trace that extends in a second direction. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
