Patent ID: 7514774

Claim:
An electronic device having a multiple chip module in combination with a main system board forming an EMI shielded space for one of the chips: the multiple chip module comprising: a first substrate having a first side, a second side and a first ground plane laminated between dielectric layers of the first substrate, a first chip mounted on the first side of the first substrate, a second chip mounted on the second side of the first substrate and electrically connected with the first chip, a first array of bonding pads located on the first side of the first substrate and surrounding the first chip, at least a portion of the array of bonding pads forming a perimeter around the first chip connected with the first ground plane, the main system board comprising: a second substrate having a mounting side and a second ground plane laminated between dielectric layers of the second substrate, and a second array of bonding pads, complementary to the first array of bonding pads, located on the mounting side of the second substrate and a complimentary portion of the second array of bonding pads connected with the second ground plane, wherein the first substrate is mounted to the second substrate by a grid array of metallic connecting nodes adjoining the first and second arrays of bonding pads with the first chip located between the first and second substrates such that the ground planes and portions of the arrays of bonding pads connected with the ground planes form a conductive shield about the first chip.
