Abstract:
1. A semiconductor package comprising: a package substrate having a first surface; an integrated circuit electrically connected to said package substrate, said integrated circuit and said package substrate together forming said semiconductor package, the integrated circuit and package substrate including frequency synthesizer circuitry; at least one inductance circuit formed entirely within said semiconductor package and formed at least partially between said integrated circuit and said package substrate, the inductance circuit at least in part determining an output frequency for the frequency synthesizer circuitry; and at least a first substrate electrical contact disposed on said package substrate and at least a second substrate electrical contact disposed on said package substrate, wherein said inductance circuit is formed at least in part by a first conductive feature electrically coupled between said integrated circuit and said first substrate electrical contact and a second conductive feature electrically coupled between said integrated circuit and said second substrate electrical contact, wherein said first substrate electrical contact and said second substrate electrical contact being electrically coupled by a third conductive feature, and wherein said first, second and third electrical features form an electrically conductive path.
