Patent ID: 8062930

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a sub-module comprising: forming a meta-module having a plurality of sub-modules; sub-dicing an overmold body of the meta-module to expose a metallic layer grid that provides a metal trace about a periphery of an active area of each of the plurality of sub-modules; applying an electromagnetic shield to the overmold body of each of the plurality of sub-modules and in contact with the metallic layer grid by: depositing a seed layer of conductive material on top of the overmold body of each sub-module and in contact with the metallic layer grid; generating a second layer on top of the seed layer through an electrolytic plating process; and generating a third layer of material on top of the second layer through a second electrolytic plating process; and singulating the meta-module to form a plurality of modules, each of which having a plurality of individually shielded sub-modules.
