Claim 19:
20. A method of manufacturing an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield, comprising:
providing a metal sheet;
machining the metal sheet to form a planar shape comprising a central portion defining a central aperture and a plurality of tabs around a perimeter of the central portion, the tabs integrally coupled to and extending laterally from respective sides of the central portion, wherein a first tab of the plurality of tabs comprises an attached portion connected directly to a first side of the central portion and an extending portion connected to an end of the attached portion, wherein a second tab of the plurality of tabs is connected to a second side of the central portion, wherein the first and second sides of the central portion are adjacent to one another and define a concave corner;
bending the plurality of tabs relative to the central portion along the respective sides of the central portion to form a horizontal body from the central portion and to form a plurality of vertical walls from the plurality of tabs, the plurality of vertical walls extending perpendicularly from the horizontal body and defining a perimeter of the EMI shield, wherein the perimeter includes a first wall and a second wall respectively formed from the first tab and the second tab; and
bending the extending portion relative to the attached portion about one of more fold axes such that a portion of the extending portion overlays the attached portion and the extending portion extends past the attached portion toward the second wall.
