1. A method of assembling a semiconductor package, comprising:
- providing a package substrate having a first surface;
including within the semiconductor package an integrated circuit electrically coupled to the package substrate;
forming a first inductor within the semiconductor package, the first inductor being formed at least partially between the integrated circuit and the package substrate; and
forming a second inductor within the semiconductor package, the second inductor being formed at least partially between the integrated circuit and the package substrate, the second inductor being coupled electrically in parallel with the first inductor, wherein the first and second inductors are formed within the semiconductor package so that an interfering magnetic signal induces a common-mode signal in the parallel combination of the first and second inductors.

Abstract
A semiconductor package includes a package substrate and an integrated circuit. The package substrate has a first surface. The integrated circuit couples electrically to the first surface of the package substrate. The integrated circuit and the package substrate together form the semiconductor package. The semiconductor package also includes a first inductance circuit and a second inductance circuit, both formed within the semiconductor package. The first and second inductance circuits couple to each other in parallel. The first and second inductance circuits have substantially symmetrical geometric characteristics.
