Inducting devices having a patterned ground shield with ribbing in an integrated circuit. In one embodiment, an inducting device comprises conductive turns to conduct current, a shield layer and a plurality of ribs. The shield layer is formed at select distance from the conductive turns. The shield layer is patterned into sections of shield to prevent eddy currents. The plurality of ribs are formed from a conductive layer that is positioned between the conductive turns and shield layer. Each rib is electrically coupled to a single associated section of shield. Moreover, each rib is more conductive than its associated section of shield to provide a less resistive current path than its associated section of shield.
