Patent ID: 8576574

Claim:
An electronic module comprising: a distribution layer having a first surface and side surfaces, the side surfaces being transverse to the first surface; an integrated electronic circuit attached to the first surface of the distribution layer; a rigid body enclosing at least a portion of the electronic circuit; a ground conductor electrically coupled to the electronic circuit, the ground conductor extending from the integrated electronic circuit to one of the side surfaces of the distribution layer, the ground conductor having a coupling surface that is coplanar with the one of the side surfaces of the distribution layer, the ground conductor being positioned within the distribution layer and extending between the integrated electronic circuit and one of the side surfaces; a plurality of electrical interconnect elements formed in the distribution layer and electrically coupled to the integrated electronic circuit; and an electrically conductive film adhered to an exterior surface of the rigid body and to the side surfaces of the distribution layer, the film being in contact with the coupling surface of the ground conductor and electrically isolated from a group of the plurality of electrical interconnects.
