Abstract

A module component in which mounting components and a conductive partition for dividing into a plurality of circuit blocks are mounted on a substrate. The circuit blocks are covered with a sealing member, which is further covered on its surface with a conductive film to electrically shield the circuit blocks individually. This module component can maintain bending strength, with little warpage by a sufficient shielding effect achieved without increasing the number of manufacturing processes.

Claims (31)

1. A module component comprising:

a substrate

a partition formed on the substrate, the partition having a predetermined height to divide the substrate into a plurality of circuit blocks;

a first sealing member covering a first circuit block of the plurality of circuit blocks;

a second sealing member covering a second circuit block of the plurality of circuit blocks;

a first conductive film covering at least a surface of the first sealing member and being continuous from the partition to the substrate; and

a second conductive film covering at least a surface of the second sealing member and being continuous from the partition to the substrate;

the plurality of circuit blocks are electrically shielded individually and the partition is made of a composition of a resin and an electrically conductive material;

the substrate is made of resin; and

the first sealing member, the second sealing member and the partition contain a same resin.

2. The module component according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive material of the partition is a conductive resin.

3. A module component comprising:

a substrate

a partition formed on the substrate, the partition having a predetermined height to divide the substrate into a plurality of circuit blocks;

a first sealing member covering a first circuit block of the plurality of circuit blocks;

a second sealing member covering a second circuit block of the plurality of circuit blocks;

a first conductive film covering at least a surface of the first sealing member and being continuous from the partition to the substrate; and

a second conductive film covering at least a surface of the second sealing member and being continuous from the partition to the substrate;

the plurality of circuit blocks are electrically shielded individually and the partition is made of a composition of a resin and an electrically conductive material;

the substrate is ceramic;

the composition is made of ceramic powder-containing resin and conductive material; and

the first sealing member, the second sealing member and the partition contain a same resin.

4. The module component according to claims 1 or 3 , wherein the partition is resin having a metal film formed on an outer surface thereof, and has a square cross section in a longitudinal direction.

5. The module component according to claims 1 or 3 , wherein the partition has a conductive wall in a direction vertical to the substrate.

6. The module component according to claims 1 or 3 , wherein the partition has resin at least one side surface thereof.

7. The module component according to claims 1 or 3 , wherein the partition is positioned inside the substrate, and has a planar shape of one of a circle and a polygon.

8. The module component according to claims 1 or 3 , wherein the partition has a planar shape of a letter T.

9. The module component according to claims 1 or 3 , wherein either a) the first conductive film and the second conductive film include metal or b) the first conductive film and the second conductive film include conductive resin.

10. The module component according to claims 1 or 3 , wherein the partition is higher than an electric component mounted on the substrate.

11. The module component according to claims 1 or 3 , wherein the substrate has a ground pattern on a surface thereof, and the ground pattern is connected with the first conductive film and the second conductive film.

12. The module component according to claim 7 , wherein the partition is positioned out of contact with an outer edge of the substrate.
