Abstract

Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for providing a shield tile. In some embodiments, the shield tile includes a diamond in a shape of a prism. The diamond includes a first region converted to graphite. The first region is parallel to a base of the prism, and the first region extends to at least one face of the prism.

Claims (14)

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a shield tile including a diamond gemstone in a shape of a prism, wherein the diamond gemstone includes a first region converted to graphite, wherein the first region is parallel to a base of the prism, and wherein the first region extends to at least one face of the prism.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first region includes one or more graphite lines.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first region includes a grid formed from one or more graphite lines.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first region extends to each face of the prism.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the diamond gemstone includes a second region converted to graphite, wherein the second region is disposed between the first region and a given base of the prism, and wherein the second region extends to the given base of the prism.

6. An apparatus, comprising:

a circuit; and

an enclosure surrounding the circuit, the enclosure comprising at least one shield tile including a diamond gemstone in a shape of a prism, wherein the diamond gemstone includes a first region converted to graphite, wherein the first region is parallel to a base of the prism, and wherein the first region extends to at least one face of the prism, and wherein the first region is configured to be coupled to a ground supply node.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the enclosure comprises a plurality of shield tiles that includes corresponding regions converted to graphite, wherein corresponding regions of adjacent shield tiles of the plurality of shield tiles are electrically coupled together and configured to be coupled to the ground supply node.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a first shield tile of the plurality of shield tiles includes a first face that is beveled, wherein a second shield tile of the plurality of shield tiles includes a second face that is beveled, wherein the first face of the first shield tile is coupled to the second face of the second shield tile.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first region includes a plurality of graphite lines.

10. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first region includes a grid formed from a plurality of graphite lines.

11. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the diamond gemstone includes a second region converted to graphite, wherein the second region is disposed between the first region and a given base of the prism, and wherein the second region extends to the given base of the prism.
