Patent ID: 8399964

Claim:
A system comprising: a microelectronic device; a first magnetic shield mounted to a first side of at least one of the microelectronic device or a package within which the microelectronic device is positioned, wherein the first magnetic shield is substantially planar, and wherein the first magnetic shield comprises: a first layer comprising a first magnetic conductive material, a second layer comprising a second magnetic conductive material, and a third layer comprising a first non-conductive material, wherein the third layer is interposed between the first layer and the second layer and wherein each of the first and second layers is directly adjacent to the third layer, wherein the first layer is defined by a first thickness that is greater than about 10 mils and the second layer is defined by a second thickness that is greater than about 10 mils; and a second magnetic shield separated from the first magnetic shield by the microelectronic device, wherein the second magnetic shield comprises: a fourth layer comprising at least one of a third magnetic conductive material or a first non-magnetic conductive material, a fifth layer comprising at least one of a fourth magnetic conductive material or a second non-magnetic conductive material, and a sixth layer comprising a second non-conductive material, wherein the sixth layer is interposed between the fourth layer and the fifth layer.
