Abstract
A semiconductor device has shielding to prevent transmission and/or reception of EMI and/or RFI radiation. The semiconductor device comprises a substrate including grounded contact pads around a periphery of the substrate, exposed at one or more edges of the substrate. A bump made of gold or other non-oxidizing conductive material may be formed on the contact pads, for example using ultrasonic welding to remove an oxidation layer between the contact pads and the conductive bumps. The conductive bumps electrically couple to a conductive coating applied around the periphery of the semiconductor device.
