Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a shielded integrated module, which includes a module substrate with a number of perimeter bond pads, at least one electronic component attached to the module substrate and encapsulated by a mold compound, a number of perimeter vertical shield contacts, and a shielding structure. The perimeter bond pads are surrounding the at least one electronic component and encapsulated by the mold compound. Each perimeter vertical shield contact is coupled to a corresponding perimeter bond pad and extends through the mold compound, such that a top tip of each perimeter vertical shield contact is exposed at a top surface of the mold compound. The shielding structure completely covers the top surface of the mold compound and is in contact with the perimeter vertical shield contacts.

Claim (Index 20):
A method comprising:\n providing a precursor package having a plurality of integrated modules, wherein:\n each of the plurality of integrated modules comprises a module substrate with a plurality of perimeter bond pads, at least one electronic component, a mold compound, and a plurality of perimeter vertical shield contacts; \n the at least one electronic component and the plurality of perimeter bond pads are on a top surface of the module substrate and encapsulated by the mold compound, wherein the plurality of perimeter bond pads surround the at least one electronic component and are electrically coupled to ground; and \n each of the plurality of perimeter vertical shield contacts is bonded to a corresponding perimeter bond pad, and extends through the mold compound, such that a top tip of each of the plurality of perimeter vertical shield contacts is exposed at a top surface of the mold compound; \n applying a shielding structure completely over a top surface and a side surface of the precursor package to form a shielded package, such that the shielding structure is in contact with the plurality of perimeter vertical shield contacts associated with each of the plurality of integrated modules; and singulating the shielded package into a plurality of shielded integrated modules, wherein a top surface of each of the plurality of shielded integrated modules is completely covered by the shielding structure, and the shielding structure for each of the plurality of shielded modules remains in contact with the plurality of perimeter vertical shield contacts.
