Patent ID: 7106050

Claim:
A shielding apparatus to shield an integrated circuit (IC) device from electromagnetic waves comprising: a conductive plate having a first surface and a second opposing surface, the first surface including a first channel on the first surface that encloses an inner region of the first surface; a cavity on the inner region of the first surface having a cavity depth that extends between the first and second surface; a first gasket disposed inside the first channel, wherein the first gasket is configured to create a tight seal when the first gasket comes into contact with another surface; an opening for the IC device on the cavity that extends between the first and second surface; wherein the second opposing surface includes a second channel on the second surface that encloses the opening, wherein the second channel has a depth that extends between the second surface and the cavity depth; a second gasket disposed inside the second channel, wherein the second gasket is configured to create a tight seal when the second gasket comes into contact with another surface.
