The EMI shield includes a metal casing configured to shield the package from radio frequency radiation, a dielectric layer coupled to at least a portion of an inner surface of the metal casing, and a plurality of signal lines. The signal lines are coupled to the dielectric layer and electrically isolated from the metal casing by the dielectric layer.

The signal lines are configured to provide electrical signals to the second circuit component.
Abstract:
A flip-chip employing an integrated cavity filter is disclosed comprising an integrated circuit (IC) chip comprising a semiconductor die and a plurality of conductive bumps. The plurality of conductive bumps is interconnected to at least one metal layer of the semiconductor die to provide a conductive “fence” that defines an interior resonator cavity for providing an integrated cavity filter in the flip-chip. The interior resonator cavity is configured to receive an input RF signal from an input transmission line through an input signal transmission aperture provided in an internal layer in the semiconductor die. The interior resonator cavity resonates the input RF signal to generate the output RF signal comprising a filtered RF signal of the input RF signal, and couples the output RF signal on an output signal transmission line in the flip-chip through an output transmission aperture provided in the aperture layer.

In some implementations, the package substrate includes a solder resist layer over the dielectric layer, where the solder resist layer covers the third terminal. In some implementations, the package substrate includes a solder interconnect over the third terminal, such that the solder resist layer is between the third terminal and the solder interconnect. In some implementations, the package substrate is coupled to a die comprising a plurality of switches.
