Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor package which is at least in part covered by an electromagnetic interference shielding layer. The method includes at least these steps: i. providing the semiconductor package and an ink composition having at least a compound comprising at least one metal precursor and at least one organic compound; ii. applying at least a part of the ink composition onto the semiconductor package, wherein a precursor layer is formed; and iii. treating the precursor layer with an irradiation of a peak wavelength in the range from 100 nm to 1 mm. Further disclosed is a semiconductor package comprising an electromagnetic interference shielding layer comprising at least one metal, wherein the semiconductor package is obtainable by the aforementioned method. Still further disclosed are a semiconductor package comprising an electromagnetic interference shielding layer having a specific conductance and thickness, and uses of an ink composition.
