Abstract

A shielded package includes a shield assembly having a shield fence, a shield lid, and a shield lid adhesive electrically coupling the shield lid to the shield fence. The shield fence includes a porous sidewall through which molding compound passes during molding of the shielded package. Further, the shield fence includes a central aperture through which an electronic component is die attached and wire bonded.

Claims (33)

1. A structure comprising:

a substrate comprising a first surface;

a land on the first surface;

an electronic component coupled to the first surface;

an encapsulant enclosing the first surface and the electronic component; and

a shield lid electrically coupled to the land through the encapsulant by an electrically conductive material extending through the encapsulant, the electrically conductive material comprising posts extending perpendicularly to the first surface between first ends of the posts and second ends of the posts.

2. The structure of claim 1 wherein the shield lid comprises an electrically conductive ink.

3. The structure of claim 2 wherein the shield lid is on a first surface of the encapsulant.

4. The structure of claim 1 wherein the electrically conductive material comprises copper.

5. The structure of claim 1 wherein the electrically conductive material comprises solder.

6. The structure of claim 5 wherein the solder is on the land.

7. The structure of claim 6 wherein the electrically conductive material further comprises copper extending between the solder and the shield lid.

8. The structure of claim 1 wherein the substrate further comprises a second surface, a trace on the second surface of the substrate being coupled to the land.

9. The structure of claim 1 wherein the electronic component comprises bond pads, the structure further comprising bond wires coupling the bond pads to traces on the first surface of the substrate.

10. The structure of claim 9 wherein the encapsulant further encloses the bond wires.

11. The structure of claim 1 wherein the electronic component comprises bond pads, the structure further comprising bumps coupling the bond pads to traces on the first surface of the substrate.

12. The structure of claim 11 further comprising an underfill material enclosing the bumps.

13. The structure of claim 1 further comprising a ground ring comprising the land.

14. The structure of claim 1 further comprising a shield fence, the shield lid being electrically coupled to the land by the shield fence.

15. A structure comprising:

a substrate comprising a first surface;

a land on the first surface;

an electronic component coupled to the first surface;

an encapsulant enclosing the first surface and the electronic component; and

an electrically conductive coating formed on the encapsulant and coupled to the land through the encapsulant by an electrically conductive material extending through the encapsulant, the electrically conductive material comprising posts extending perpendicularly to the first surface between first ends of the posts and second ends of the posts.

16. A structure comprising:

a substrate comprising a first surface;

a land on the first surface;

an electronic component coupled to the first surface;

an encapsulant enclosing the first surface and the electronic component; and

an electrically conductive ink in direct contact with an electrically conductive material, the electrically conductive ink being electrically coupled to the land through the encapsulant by the electrically conductive material, the electrically conductive material comprising posts extending perpendicularly to the first surface between first ends of the posts and second ends of the posts.

17. The structure of claim 16 wherein the electronic component comprises a semiconductor device.

18. The structure of claim 16 wherein the electronic component comprises a passive device.
