Electromagnetic shields for electronic devices, and particularly electromagnetic shields with bonding wires for sub-modules of electronic devices are disclosed. Electronic modules are disclosed that include multiple sub-modules arranged on a substrate with an electromagnetic shield arranged on or over the sub-modules. Bonding wires are disclosed that form one or more bonding wire walls along the substrate. The one or more bonding wire walls may be located between sub-modules of a module and about peripheral boundaries of the module. The electromagnetic shield may be electrically coupled to ground by way of the one or more bonding wire walls. Portions of the electromagnetic shield and the one or more bonding wire walls may form divider walls that are configured to reduce electromagnetic interference between the sub-modules or from external sources.

Electromagnetic shields with bonding wires for sub-modules

A process for molding a back side wafer singulation guide is disclosed. Structures for heat mitigation include an overmold formed over a contact surface of a device layer of a wafer, covering bump structures. The overmold and bump structures are thinned and planarized, and the overmold provides an underfill to increase interconnect reliability of a semiconductor die in a flip chip bonded package. However, visibility of singulation guides on the contact surface is obstructed. A channel is formed extending through the device layer and into the handle layer, and is filled with the overmold. The handle layer is replaced with a thermally-conductive molding layer formed on the back side for dissipating heat generated by semiconductor devices. The thermally-conductive handle is thinned until the overmold in the channel beneath the device layer is exposed. The exposed overmold provides a visible back side singulation guide for singulating the wafer.
