At this time, since there are two inductors (the first inductor and the second inductor) in the same wiring layer, the proportion of the two inductors in the same wiring layer is relatively large, and the proportion of the grounding part is relatively small. The similarities between the second comparative example of Figure 7 and case 1 are that the wiring layers of the second comparative example of Figure 7 and case 1 both include a third wiring layer C (refer to Figures 4E and 4C).
