Abstract:
A package for protecting an integrated circuit device having an active side. The package includes a substrate for mounting the integrated circuit device and a plastic cap mounted on the substrate to form an enclosed space for the active side of the integrated circuit device. A thermal bond is formed between the substrate and the plastic cap to effectively seal the enclosed space so as to prevent the ingress of moisture or particulate.
Abstract:
The present invention provide methods and devices for shielding an electronic component package. In one embodiment, an EMI shield is integrally formed within the package adjacent the die and grounded. The EMI shield may be a metallized shaped polymer layer and may be disposed fully within the package or it may extend out of the package.
Abstract:
The radiation shielded and packaged integrated circuit semiconductor device (400) includes a lid (470) secured to a base (410) to enclose the integrated circuit die (480) within, wherein the lid (470) and the base (410) are each constructed from a high-Z material to prevent radiation from penetrating therethrough. Another embodiment (700) includes a die attach slug (790) constructed from a high-Z material disposed between the integrated circuit die (780) and a base (710), in combination with a high-Z material lid (770) to substantially block incident radiation.
Abstract:
A method for packaging a semiconductor device. The method includes: providing a dielectric layer over the semiconductor device; determining patterns and placement of material on the dielectric layer to provide a predetermined magnetic or electric effect for the device, such effects being provided on the device from such patterned and placed material solely by electrical or magnetic waves coupled between such material and the device; and forming the material in the determined patterns and placement to provide the predetermined effects.
Abstract:
A packaged semiconductor device (10) that is fabricated with a plurality of conductive leads (30) defined in a strip that beneficially includes a radio frequency shield box (16). The conductive contacts are located in a housing (12), beneficially by insert molding or by sandwiching between a bottom piece and a top piece. The housing can receives another semiconductor device. Bonding conductors (53) electrically connect at least one semiconductor device (14) to another semiconductor device (18) and/or to the conductive contacts. A conductive cover (28) is disposed over the housing. The cavity (20) beneficially includes a beveled wall (38) and the conductive leads and the radio frequency shield are beneficially comprised of copper.
Abstract:
A radio module (10) suitable for RF applications, especially for Bluetooth, comprises a substrate (1) with a semiconductor device (11), a shield (21), and an antenna (31). The shield (21) is located between the antenna (31) and the semiconductor device (11), and is present on the same side (2) of the substrate (1) as the semiconductor device (11) and the antenna (31). By preference, the antenna (31) and the shield (21) are connected to one another by support means (32, 42).
Abstract:
A shielding housing (11) for electrically shielding at least one component on a printed circuit board (12), comprises a layer (14) of a non-shielding material having at least one cavity (15) for receiving said at least one component. An elastic gasket (16) is provided on the rim of said at least one cavity (15). A layer (17) of an electrically shielding material covers the gasket (16) as well as one or both surfaces of said layer (14) of a non-shielding material. In operation, the shielding housing (11) is pressed with its gasket (16) against a conductor (13) located on the printed circuit board (12) around said at least one component to be shielded.
Abstract:
A metal electronic package is provided having improved electromagnetic interference shielding. Metal base and cover components are electrically interconnected to remain at same voltage potential thereby reducing EMI induced mutual inductance. An electrically conductive conduit, such as a contact pin, provides interconnection. If the electronic device is mounted on a chip pad attach, the conductive conduit also connects to the support pads of the chip attach.
