MARCHAND BALUNS IN CORELESS PACKAGE SUBSTRATES

In examples, a semiconductor package comprises a conductive terminal; a semiconductor die including a device side having circuitry formed therein, the device side facing toward the conductive terminal; and a substrate coupled to the conductive terminal and to the device side of the semiconductor die. The substrate includes a first metal layer coupled to first and second vias extending toward and coupled to either the device side of the semiconductor die or the conductive terminal. The substrate includes a second metal layer electrically isolated from the first metal layer by an insulation layer between the first and second metal layers, the second metal layer coupled to a third via extending toward and coupled to either the conductive terminal or the semiconductor die. The first and second metal layers form a Marchand balun.
