Patent ID: 7071545

Claim:
A shielded integrated circuit package comprising: a die attach pad having a first side and a second side; a first semiconductor die directly mounted to said first side of said die attach pad; a plurality of contact pads disposed in close proximity to said first semiconductor die; a first plurality of wire bonds connecting said first semiconductor die and ones of said plurality of contact pads; an overmold encapsulating said first plurality of wire bonds and said first semiconductor die, said die attach pad and said plurality of contact pads being embedded in said overmold; a plurality of leads disposed proximal said second side of said die attach pad, said plurality of leads being fixed to and electrically connected to said plurality of contact pads by one of an electrically conductive adhesive and a solder; a second semiconductor die mounted to one of said second side of said die attach pad and said plurality of leads, such that ones of said plurality of leads are also electrically connected to said second semiconductor die; an encapsulant in which said second semiconductor die and said plurality of leads are embedded, wherein said die attach pad shields radio frequency and electromagnetic interference signals from being transmitted to or from said second semiconductor die.
