A method for designing a circuit on a spherical shaped semiconductor integrated circuit (50) using uniform unit shapes (52) capable of covering the surface of the sphere in a matingly corresponding orientation with adjacent unit shapes. The method includes the steps of designing a circuit within each unit shape (102) selected from various types of unit shape patterns (104); selecting a predetermined number of those unit shapes from the various types of unit shape patterns (106); and covering the spherical integrated circuit with the predetermined number of unit shapes (108, 110, 112, 114, 116). Furthermore, the designer can use the unit shapes to navigate over the surface (50a, 50b, 50c) to accurately determine the location, the position, and surface area remaining.
