Abstract:
An integrated electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield for a semiconductor module package. The integrated EMI shield includes a plurality of wirebond spring (216) electrically connected between a ground plane (212) in the substrate (204) of the package and a conductive layer (222) printed on the top of the package mold compound. The wirebond springs have a defined shape that causes a spring effect to provide contact electrical connection between the tops of the wirebond springs and the conductive layer. The wirebond springs can be positioned anywhere in the module package, around all or some of the devices (202) included in the package, to create a complete EMI shield around those devices.
Abstract:
The invention is a device and method for connecting a hermetic package to a flexible circuit such as for an electrode array in an implantable device. Attaching metal pads on a flexible circuit to metal pads on a hermetic device by conductive adhesive is known. A smooth metal, such as platinum, does not bond well to conductive epoxy. The invention provides a roughened surface, such as etching or applying high surface area platinum gray, to improve adhesion to platinum or other metal pads.
Abstract:
A wireless radio-frequency (RF) module comprises an antenna to receive first RF signals, and to transmit second RF signals; a communication circuit comprising a receive circuit to produce first digital data based on the first RF signals, and a transmit circuit to produce the second RF signals based on second digital data; a host interface to provide the first digital data to a host, and to receive the second digital data from the host; an external antenna interface to receive the first RF signals from, and to transmit the second RF signals to, an external antenna; and at least one switch to provide a signal path for the first and second RF signals between the communication circuit and one of the antenna and the external antenna interface in accordance with a control signal.
Abstract:
An elastic printed board (102) is provided so that stress applied by the silicon gel (101) is absorbed by the printed board (102). Further, the printed board (102) is formed to be so narrow that the stress may be escaped. On the other hand, the wires on which a high voltage is applied are patterned on respective printed boards. This serves to prevent discharge through the surface of the same printed board served as current passage. This design makes it possible to hermetically close the power module, prevent intrusion of moisture or contamination as well as displacement, transformation and crack of the cover plate (105).
Abstract:
Apparatuses relating generally to a microelectronic package having protection from interference are disclosed. In an apparatus thereof, a substrate has an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface and has a ground plane. A first microelectronic device is coupled to the upper surface of the substrate. Wire bond wires are coupled to the ground plane for conducting the interference thereto and extending away from the upper surface of the substrate. A first portion of the wire bond wires is positioned to provide a shielding region for the first microelectronic device with respect to the interference. A second portion of the wire bond wires is not positioned to provide the shielding region. A second microelectronic device is coupled to the substrate and located outside of the shielding region. A conductive surface is over the first portion of the wire bond wires for covering the shielding region.
