Methods, systems, and apparatuses for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding are provided. An apparatus comprises a plurality of electrical components coupled to a substrate. The plurality of electrical components comprises a first electrical component coupled to a first region of the substrate and at least one other electrical component coupled to at least one other region of the substrate. The first electrical component is configured to emit electromagnetic waves. The apparatus also comprises an EMI shield forming a conductive envelopment around the first region. The first electrical component is inside the conductive envelopment and the one other electrical component is outside of the conductive envelopment. The EMI shield comprises an aperture positioned above the first electrical component. The apparatus further comprises a lens coupled to the EMI shield. The lens is positioned above the first electrical component and is substantially aligned with the aperture.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in optical sensors

A device includes comprising first and second printed circuit boards. Walls couple the first and second printed circuit boards to each other and define a first cavity between the first and second printed circuit boards. Electric conductors associated with the walls electrically connect the first and second printed circuit boards. An integrated circuit chip is mounted to a first surface of the first integrated circuit board in the first cavity. The integrated circuit chip is electrically connected to conductive tracks of the first surface of the first printed circuit board. Surface-mounted components are mounted on top of and in contact with conductive tracks of a first surface of the second printed circuit board. The first surfaces of the first and second printed circuit boards are arranged facing towards each other. The first and second printed circuit boards may form rigid components of a flex-rigid type printed circuit board.

Electronic device

An integrated circuit chip includes a front face having an electrical connection pad. An overmolded encapsulation block encapsulates the integrated circuit chip and includes a front layer at least partially covering a front face of the integrated circuit chip. A through-hole the encapsulation block is located above the electrical connection pad of the integrated circuit chip. A wall of the through-hole is covered with an inner metal layer that is joined to the front pad of the integrated circuit chip. A front metal layer covers a local zone of the front face of the front layer, with the front metal layer being joined to the inner metal layer to form an electrical connection. The inner metal layer and the front metal layer are attached or anchored to activated additive particles that are included in the material of the encapsulation block.
