Abstract: A system in package (SiP) is disclosed that uses an EMI shield to inhibit EMI or other electrical interference on the components within the SiP. A metal shield may be formed on an upper surface of an encapsulant encapsulating the SiP. The metal shield may be electrically coupled to a ground layer in a printed circuit board (PCB) to form the EMI shield around the SiP. The metal shield may be electrically coupled to the ground layer using one or more conductive structures located in the encapsulant. The conductive structures may be located on a perimeter of the components in the SiP. The conductive structures may provide a substantially vertical connection between the substrate and the shield on the upper surface of the encapsulant.

Abstract: Method of forming ultra thin coreless substrates are described. In an embodiment, the method utilizes a debond layer including high and low adhesion surface areas to the carrier substrate, and cutting through the low adhesion surface areas to remove a build-up structure from the carrier substrate. An electrical short layer may be formed as a part of or on the debond layer to facilitate electrical testing of the build-up structure prior to debonding, and aid in the formation a “known good” substrate on a support substrate.
