Patent ID: 7971350

Claim:
A method of providing electromagnetic shielding of one or more electronic devices, the method comprising: a. providing a substrate including a ground plane and one or more electronic devices coupled to a top surface of the substrate; b. adding one or more metallized contact base areas to the top surface of the substrate, wherein each of the metallized contact base areas is conductively coupled to the ground plane; c. adding a metallized contact extension to each metallized contact base area, thereby forming one or more metallized contacts; d. applying a liquified, non-conductive mold compound layer to the top surface of the substrate, the mold compound layer having a top surface, wherein the mold compound layer covers the one or more electronic devices and a top portion of each metallized contact extends from and above the top surface of the mold compound layer; and e. applying a conductive layer to the top surface of the mold compound layer, wherein the conductive layer is conductively coupled to the top portion of each metallized contact layer, thereby conductively coupling the conductive layer to the ground plane.
