Abstract: A method is disclosed for manufacturing a discrete package for housing at least one integrated circuit die with electromagnetic interference shielding. The method may utilize a lead frame with a central die paddle and outwardly extending leads. The die paddle may have a top surface and an opposing bottom surface. The method may also have at least one integrated circuit die with a top surface and an opposing bottom surface. The integrated circuit die may be attached to the top surface of the die paddle. At least one conductive material bond may be established between the lead frame and the integrated circuit die. A dielectric material over mold may encapsulate the integrated circuit die and lead frame. A second dielectric material over mold may encapsulate the integrated circuit die and the lead frame. Further, a conductive coating may encapsulate the top and side surfaces of the package.
