Methods related to shielded module having compression overmold

Abstract:

A method for fabricating a radio-frequency (RF) module is disclosed, the method including forming or providing a first assembly that includes a packaging substrate and an RF component mounted thereon, the first assembly further including one or more shielding-wirebonds formed relative to the RF component, forming an overmold over the packaging substrate to substantially encapsulate the RF component and the one or more shielding-wirebonds, the overmold formed by compression molding, and forming a conductive layer on an upper surface of the overmold such that the conductive layer is in electrical contact with some or all of the shielding-wirebonds.
