Patent ID: 7227247

Claim:
An integrated circuit package, comprising: a substrate including a first surface having a plurality of signal land pads and a second surface having a plurality of signal die pads; a plurality of signal connectors arranged to electrically couple the plurality of the signal land pads to the plurality of the signal die pads; a ground plane, disposed in an adjacent, spaced-apart relationship to the plurality of signal land pads; the ground plane including a plurality of holes with at least one of the holes having at least one of the signal connectors extending therethrough and being dimensioned and configured approximately to be as large or larger than at least one of the signal land pads, with the at least one signal land pad being disposed adjacent to the at least one hole and connected to the at least one signal connector; and the at least one signal connector including a serial inductor substantially disposed in the at least one hole and including at least one loop.
