Description
Electronic chip Cross-reference to related application(s) The present application claims the benefit of priority from French patent application No. 2404174 entitled "Proc de fabric d' une puce e lectronique ayant un blindage e lectromagn e tique," filed on month 23 of 2024, which is hereby incorporated by reference to the maximum extent allowed by law. Technical Field The present disclosure relates to the field of CSP ("chip-level package") types or WLCSP ("wafer-level package") types of chips. And more particularly to a method of manufacturing an electronic chip with electromagnetic shielding. Background The electronic chip comprises a substrate in or on which electronic circuits have been fabricated. The substrate is covered with connection areas to allow the chip to be assembled with, for example, a printed circuit board. The chip may be subject to electromagnetic interference (EMI) that interferes with its operation or may even cause significant damage, and/or such electromagnetic interference may be generated. In order to protect the chip from unwanted electromagnetic radiation, a mold (molding) is typically formed around the chip at the component level, and an electromagnetic shield is formed around the mold. Alternatively, a second molding may be formed on the electromagnetic shield. Grounding of the electromagnetic shield may be achieved by means of vias and/or laminates and may also be used to add antennas. For manufacturing electronic chips, low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCCs) may be used, which include multiple dielectric layers, conductive material (e.g., screen printed), and holes for interconnecting the different layers. Because of the use of holes/vias, the shield is easy to manufacture. Such chips include many interconnect layers and elements and are therefore complex to manufacture and/or increase the size of the final chip.
