Patent ID: 8212339

Claim:
A semiconductor device package, comprising: a substrate unit including an upper surface, a lower surface, a lateral surface disposed adjacent to a periphery of the substrate unit and fully extending between the upper surface and the lower surface of the substrate unit, and a grounding element disposed adjacent to the periphery of the substrate unit and at least partially extending between the upper surface and the lower surface of the substrate unit, the grounding element including an indented portion that is disposed adjacent to the lateral surface of the substrate unit; a semiconductor device electrically connected to the substrate unit; a package body disposed adjacent to the upper surface of the substrate unit and encapsulating the semiconductor device, the package body including exterior surfaces that include a lateral surface; and an electromagnetic interference shield disposed adjacent to the exterior surfaces of the package body and the lateral surface of the substrate unit, the electromagnetic interference shield being electrically connected to the grounding element; wherein the grounding element includes a connection surface that is inwardly recessed relative to the lateral surface of the substrate unit, and the electromagnetic interference shield conformally coats the connection surface.
