System and method for RF shielding of a semiconductor package

摘要

A semiconductor device has a substrate having a plurality of metal traces. At least one electronic component is electrically coupled to a first surface of the substrate. A mold compound is used for encapsulating portions of the electronic component and the first surface of the substrate, wherein a portion of the mold compound is removed around at least one side of the electronic component. A conductive coating is applied to the mold compound and an area where the portion of the mold compound is removed.
