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 11):
A method comprising:\n providing a precursor package having a plurality of integrated modules, wherein:\n an inter-module area is horizontally in between two adjacent integrated modules of the plurality of integrated modules; \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 singulating the precursor package at each inter-module area to form a plurality of individual integrated modules, wherein a top surface of each of the plurality of individual integrated modules is a top surface of the mold compound, a bottom surface of each of the plurality of individual integrated modules is a bottom surface of the module substrate, and a side surface of each of the plurality of individual integrated modules is a combination of a side surface of the mold compound and a side surface of the module substrate; and applying a shielding structure completely over the top surface and the side surface of each of the plurality of individual integrated modules, wherein the shielding structure is in contact with the plurality of perimeter vertical shield contacts.
