  • Patent number: 8409658
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a meta-module having circuitry for two or more modules is formed on a substrate, which is preferably a laminated substrate. The circuitry for the different modules is initially formed on the single meta-module. Each module will have one or more component areas in which the circuitry is formed. A metallic structure is formed on or in the substrate for each component area to be shielded. A single body, such as an overmold body, is then formed over all of the modules on the meta-module. At least a portion of the metallic structure for each component area to be shielded is then exposed through the body by a cutting, drilling, or like operation. Next, an electromagnetic shield material is applied to the exterior surface of the body of each of the component areas to be shielded and in contact with the exposed portion of the metallic structures.

  • Patent number: 7572681
    Abstract: A method of forming an embedded electronic component package includes coupling a substrate to a first dielectric layer, strip, or panel, and forming first electrically conductive vias and traces in the first dielectric layer. A cavity is then formed in the first dielectric layer and an electronic component is attached in the cavity. A second dielectric layer, strip, or panel, is then applied to the first dielectric layer, thereby encasing the electronic component in dielectric. Second via apertures are then formed through the second dielectric layer to expose selected electronic component bond pads and/or selected first electrically conductive vias and traces. The second via apertures are then filled with an electrically conductive material to form second electrically conductive vias electrically coupled to selected bond pads and selected first electrically conductive vias and traces.
