ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a manufacturing process of a sub-module having an electromagnetic shield. Initially, a meta-module having circuitry for two or more sub-modules is formed. An overmold body is placed over the circuitry for all of the sub-modules. The overmold body of the meta-module is sub-diced to expose a metallic layer grid around each of the sub-modules. Next, an electromagnetic shield is applied to the exterior surface of the overmold body of each of the sub-modules and in contact with the metallic layer grid. The meta-module is then singulated to form modules having two or more sub-modules.
